Golf Club: Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic golf game with Cozy Chill Vibes

“Most of human life has disappeared. Earth is now a golf course for the ultra-rich. “

That has been the elevator pitch of our game practically since we began development of Golf Club: Wasteland. The idea is that the ultra-rich fled to a private colony on Mars when Earth fell, and now they are venturing back to the ruins of our world to play “adventure golf on an urban wasteland.”

Well, it is a golf game, but neither. There’s a pretty deep and shocking story that talks about some big issues like climate change, Silicon Valley culture, and inequality. But it also looks at some more personal issues like loneliness, homesickness, loss, and discouragement. But do not worry. This is not some grim and fatal kind of game. We intentionally wrapped our story around a fun and relaxing game of golf, a cozy apocalyptic art style with little Easter eggs, and pranks on every level. And most importantly, a relaxed radio broadcast that is packed with relaxing music and interesting stories.

Our radio broadcast is actually one of the most appreciated parts of the game for the team. We literally worked years to get it right. Titled “Radio Nostalgia from Mars,” the broadcast is hosted by a silky smooth-voiced radio DJ who is also our audio director. He gives you some very exciting tunes throughout your round of “putt putt-poclypse” that we wrote and produced ourselves (you can try here and here). Then, between the music, you’ll receive stories and updates about the Mars colony, but also from the survivors who fled Earth as they remember what they remember most about their time there. They are around more than 2 hours of audio content.

We have 3 modes. Story, which allows you to play at your own pace without keeping score, unlimited shots, and even an option to skip levels if the game notices that you could be struggling with more complex levels. Challenge mode gives you one pair per hole. If you don’t sink the ball within the allotted shots, your ball self-destructs and you restart the level. And finally, Iron Mode. For the crazy among you. There’s a set amount of shots too, but with the added pressure that if you lose the ball in the water, the toxic sludge, or just get eaten by the various creatures still roaming the land, it’s all the way back to level one. .

Each copy also comes with 2 free digital gifts. A digital graphic novel that concludes and reveals the story of the enigmatic character Charlie. And also, a download link to the full soundtrack that you listen to throughout the game.

So if you want a laid-back game of golf, with laid-back music and an interesting story that looks at the world we live in right now, maybe you will give it a try. The game is now available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.
