The Descendant is a premium adventure game where you will have to navigate a post-apocalyptic world while trying to uncover the secrets behind the events that caused the Earth to crumble. This story-rich title from Gaming Corps spans five episodes, with the first one free to download for curious new players.
The Descendant employs the use of point-and-click mechanics similar to that of Life is Strange. Both games also employ a "choose-your-own-adventure" kind of system where the choices you make can greatly affect the outcome of the story, as well as the characters around you.

Unlike your typical adventures, the storyline of The Descendant switches between two timelines: the past and the present. In each timeline, you will play a different role. Both roles, however, are significant to the thick plot. As already mentioned, your choices can cause the story to branch out into numerous different subplots, allowing you to discover a multitude of possible endings and subplots along the way.
In addition to the gripping, tension-filled story, players can also expect to solve mind-boggling puzzles and engage in investigative gameplay that can uncover surprising secrets behind the underground bunkers that humankind has been forced to live in. With stunning 3D graphics that fully immerse you in the in-game world, you can also look forward to cinematic action sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
While the game’s plot progresses quite slowly at first, the freedom to explore the sizable semi-open world is enough to keep you hooked long enough for the drama and thrill to appear. Another notable issue to take into consideration is the clunky animation that’s present in many point-and-click titles. Some movements can feel awkward and the fixed camera angles make it difficult to keep an eye out on all sides.
