Untold Tales and Demagog Studio have announced their brand-new title Golf Club Wasteland where you can play golf on the graves of dead humans. This unique title is set in the future where 99% of humanity has been wiped out and the remaining 1% play golf on their graves. The whole Earth has been turned into a golf course for the ultra-rich who fled to Mars during the apocalypse.
The game puts you in the shoes of a lone golfer who is back on the earth for one last round. You will play through an artistic apocalypse and between the putts, you will piece together the fall of humanity at the hands of consumerism, Silicon Valley culture, and ecological disaster. The game features a narrative, custom radio show-style soundtrack, and environmental storytelling. If you are a fan of golf, you will be happy to know that a playable demo of the game will arrive on Steam in mid-June.

Key game features of Golf Club Wasteland include:
- Urban Wasteland Adventure Golf – The rich fled to Mars but venture back to a desolate Earth for a round of golf. Each hole in the wasteland offers its own little story and possible puzzle to sink the perfect shot. Play through destroyed brutalist monuments, crumbling shopping malls, and abandoned museums all as neon signs and poignant graffiti take swings at current events, Silicon Valley culture, and humanity.
- Three Stories Make A (W)Hole – Piece together the full story of how humanity fell through three distinct sources. Details from the lone golfer’s story, mysteriously back on Earth for one last game. The Radio Nostalgia From Mars broadcast gives a glimpse into the lives of those who escaped, and the narration of a “secret spectator” watching you from a distance.
- The 1% Killed the Radio Star – Be accompanied by a purposefully composed soundtrack as well as personal stories broadcasted on Radio Nostalgia From Mars. The station caters to citizens of Mars, nostalgic for Earth as they listen to music from the 2020s, and dial in to share their memories of the planet. A smooth voiced radio DJ keeps the show flowing with updates and announcements hinting to a not-so-glamorous life on Mars.
- Fits Like a Glove – Three distinct modes mean every golfer can find something for their tastes. Casual players can focus just on the story and a relaxing scenic round of golf in Story Mode. Those looking for an extra challenge can beat each hole under par using skill and puzzle solving through Challenge Mode. While the total pros can try Iron Mode, where there’s almost zero room for error. Easy to grasp controls and a minimalist UI underpin the whole game, so anyone can easily pick up and play at their own pace.
- That’s A Keeper – Included with every copy of the game is the digital Golf Club Wasteland Official Soundtrack plus a Graphic Novel Art Book that further expands the backstory of the lone golfer Charley in stunning visual format.
Golf Club Wasteland is slated for release on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch sometime in August 2021.
