The Descendant is Almost Here – Launch Trailer Available Now

Today we are pleased to show the launch trailer for The Descendant, the exciting new post-apocalyptic adventure coming out for PC on March 24.  This new trailer introduces the characters and environments players will encounter in the game’s first episode, titled ‘Aftermath’, along with some of the interactions and puzzles within the dangerous world of The Descendant.

In the not-so-distant future, climate change has wrecked the planet, and a man-made extinction event has wiped humankind off the face of the Earth. Only a few thousand ‘descendants of humanity’ were hand-picked to survive the apocalypse, cryogenically suspended in underground bunkers known as Arks.

Centuries passed. The world recovered, and all the Arks reopened, except one — Ark-01.

In The Descendant, from developer Gaming Corps, you play through two timelines – in the past you’ll play as Mia, a ‘janitor’ tasked with keeping the chosen humans housed inside Ark-01 alive, while in the present you’ll play as Donnie, one of the investigators on a mission to rescue any survivors trapped within the facility.

Coming to Steam for Windows PC on March 24, the game is a post-apocalyptic narrative adventure where players solve puzzles, explore the dangerous underground facility, and discover a far greater conspiracy buried within the subterranean Ark complex.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
