Story:

'Desolate' takes place in the distant future. A time when long distance space travel is possible and frequent...

You must escape the derelict space craft.

 On the way you will have to overcome various challenges and obstacles throughout over 70 rooms.

Your struggle for survival is escalated by your need to figure out two things:
What happened to the ship, and who 'you' are...

Introduction:

Desolate is a top-down perspective adventure game with arcade and puzzle elements  served in a hybrid TI83-Game Boy monochrome green palette.

Or in short, a spaceship crawler.
 


This is an official port of the original game made in 2004 by Patrick 'tr1p1ea' Prendergast for the TI-83 & TI-83+(SE) calculators.
