Life of Delta is a point-and-click adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world developed by Airogames. It was released in 13 of March in 2023, published by Daedalic Entertainment and is available in PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, Steam Deck, PS5 and XBOX.

After the Great War, all humans are wiped out. The only survivors are decaying service robots and humanoid lizards that were born from a long nuclear fallout.

Our story follows Delta, who is a small service robot and like any other robot, he is just trying to survive in this harsh environment. One day he is forced to embark on a journey through a vast post-apocalyptic world in order to find his lost friend. Because of his small size, he needs to use all of his wits to overcome all dangerous scenarios and challenges.

Life of Delta Includes Examples Of:

  • Beast Man: There are also other animals alongside the reptiles that mutated, such as rhinos and boars.

  • Cute Machines: Delta is a small cute robot reminiscent to WALL•E
  • Crapsack World: The world isn’t pretty anymore.
