After nearly a decade of development, I am very excited to finally announce Desolus!
Explore a city of Gothic architecture torn between past and future in Desolus, a first person puzzle game.
After watching yesterday's #ShacknewsE4IndieShowcase, these were the 4 games that impressed me the most:
🦇 The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest — @Retroware
☁️ Cloudbreaker — Ballast Games
🧜 The Mermaid Mask — @SFBTom & @SFBDim
🌌 Desolus — @DesolusDev
Explore a city of Gothic architecture torn between past and future in DESOLUS, a 1st person puzzle game. Solve puzzles through the use of black holes, traveling back and forth through time to make architecture whole again.
