About

Taking place across two timelines, in the past you’ll play as Mia, a janitor tasked with keeping the precious descendants housed within Ark-01 alive while the facility continually fails around her, and in the present, you’ll play as Donnie, one of the investigators trying to rescue any surviving descendants trapped within, all while discovering a far greater conspiracy buried within the underground Ark complex. Every action and choice you make directly impacts who lives and who dies, leaving the fate of Ark-01, and mankind itself, in your hands. Will you save mankind? Or doom us all?

    It's one of the better pretenders out there, thanks to the morally grey protagonists, daunting set-pieces, and odd gameplay subversions. Much like the sci-fi oddities found deep in Netflix, The Descendant has this rough B-movie charm going for it; flawed, but perfectly passable.

    I’m glad I noticed The Descendant, as what I found was a pleasant surprise. A nice alternative to Telltale’s series, The Descendant has a good story and choices, but also brings in a nice chunk of puzzles to keep things a little more leaning towards classic adventure games. If it’s a genre you enjoy, then it’s worth descending.

    All in all, The Descendant is a very emotional and dramatic story that you will want to know the rest of by the end of the first episode.

    The Descendant es una experiencia muy corta y con demasiados bajones en el ritmo. No cabe duda de que de cara a una nueva temporada, se agradecería un rediseño de elementos. Esto no quita que estemos ante una gran pieza a nivel argumental y un excelente juego a nivel artístico y de ambientación.
