Breathedge is a hilarious space survival game. You play as the survivor of the spaceliner catastrophe who finds himself in the middle of a ridiculous universal conspiracy, all the while battling the elements in order to find the way home.



Breathedge boasts a wild mix of awesome visuals and exciting first-person survival experience in outer space, spiced with grotesque humor. Collect items, make tools, build vehicles, and more to help you unravel the mystery behind the explosion of the largest space vessel and all its dark secrets. Smooth navigation through space is not without dangers: watch out for extreme cold and heat, ever-encroaching radiation, and coffin-robots out for blood!

Update 1.3.3 has been loaded.

— A bug that led to the progress loss has been fixed.

If you experience any issues due to this update, please inform us about this on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/AVfvuzj

Hello Volunteers!

We know that under specific scenarios, game clients and servers may lose their progress. We're working on a solution. An update with a bugfix will be released soon.



In order not to lose progress, after leaving the server or ending a session do not restart the session from the main menu, but rather restart your game and then your session.

If you have this issue you can contact @Niko on the game's Discord and he will help you to resolve the issue manually. The progress will be restored together with the patch or a little after, so that it doesn't corrupt or get erased again.

Hello Volunteers! This is not a voice in your head, this is us — developers from Nearga.

We are happy to announce that loads of free improvements and expansions are coming to DESOLATE soon! We continue to work on many things regarding Granichny Island and its inhabitants — from new versions of Volunteer’s appearance to the improved combat system, quests and environment.

Today we want to share our plans for the next update with you, as well as uncover plans for the whole year ahead. Check your equipment and let’s get started!


[h2]Close combat improvement (early spring 2021)[/h2]

Your main ally in DESOLATE are your melee weapons (apart from savvy and sanity, of course). That’s why we decided to develop this mechanic into something deeper. Battles with enemies will now get more interesting and spectacular than before.

• 3 distinct types of weapons will appear in the game, each with its own features: heavy, medium and light.
  
• Battles will get more tactical: you’ll have to adapt to your opponents, pick a strategy, keep track of your stamina and search for a vantage point.
  
• You will be able to risk and try to parry your enemy’s attacks, in case of success you will gain an advantage.
  
• New animations will let you feel the battle dynamics and attack impacts better.
  

[h2]Characters’ visual improvement[/h2]

A book is judged by its cover, right? We’ll make the appearances of the in-game characters more detailed and polished. Same thing applies to some of the environment objects.

• New hairstyles, beards and facial options for the character creation
  
• New starter suit for the main character
  
• Environment 3D models and textures update
  

[h2]Elaboration of the storyline, quests and gameplay[/h2]

Everything regarding story quests will be improved: locations, fast travel points, quest geography, and even voiceover.
[h2]And more...[/h2]

But that’s not everything. In 2021 we’ll enhance artificial intelligence in Desolate. Enemies will get smarter, and clashes with them will become truly life-threatening. As for the visuals, Desolate will get even more good-looking thanks to the textures’ update.

Keep an eye on the updates and stay tuned, Volunteers!
