A setting that lacks a background and supporting characters, often in a deliberately jarring fashion. A Beautiful Void will often be exactly what the name implies: beautiful, yet somehow also a wasteland, often with a touch of After the End thrown in for good measure. Typically, the reason why the obviously vibrant world is so deserted and empty will be mysterious, but this may vary depending on medium and plot. Named for Douglas Adams' description of Myst. Stories set in this trope tend to have major philosophical aspects. Often coexists with Ontological Mystery. Wistfulness is an important factor. Overlaps with Scenery Porn/Gorn. A similar effect can be used to evoke fear, as well - see Nothing Is Scarier, It's Quiet… Too Quiet, and Ghost City. |

Città gazze in The Subtle Knife appears completely uninhabited to Lyra and Will when they first arrive there, but strangely still in operating order, with food not yet spoiled and the electricity still working. Turns out the adults had recently fled en masse from an invasion of the Spectres, for fear of being rendered Empty Shells. The children of the adults do return, as they are temporarily immune to the Spectres. | |

Homeworld gets extra points for being actually set entirely in space. You never see any planet up close, there are no named characters other than Karan S'jet and Captain Elson, and you never learn how any of the aliens look in person. And even though you can amass a fleet of significant size that ends up in numerous massive battles, individual starfighters are too small to take notice of, and the capital ships are too slow and heavy to do any fancy evasive actions. And since you usually need to have a good overview over the battlespace, all you see of the pitched and dramatic battles is some slight glitter of warships on fire and exploding starfighters, and the occasional flash of an exploding destroyer. The music acknowledges the start of a battle by slightly increasing the pacing. | |

In The Stanley Parable, all of Stanley's co-workers have mysteriously vanished, and his boss is also absent, leaving nothing better to do than to explore the Building of Adventure and discover its uncanny secrets. Interaction with the game world is mostly limited to pressing various kinds of buttons, a fact subjected to much Lampshade Hanging in some of the routes. | |

The Neverhood is a half-sculpted and barely-populated world that consists mainly of eerie ambient stuff in the first-person areas (it's more tuneful in third-person areas and cutscenes) and the sky is a featureless black nothingness, for that extra touch. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes a similar approach, using the vast and mostly empty wilderness to hammer home that Hyrule after the Great Calamity has been heavily depopulated. This is especially apparent in the Great Plateau sequence at the very beginning. Only a few small groups of enemies, a few birds, and a mysterious old man are alive to join you, all the rest is beautiful scenery and the sound of the breeze, with little in the way of music or even sound effects. | |

Dark Souls: This is a running theme in the series. In each title, the world is dying slowly. The only hope is someone like the player character continuing the Age of Fire by offering themselves up as kindling. There are some NPCs around, sometimes in dark dingy dungeons, sometimes just in the middle of nowhere, but generally, it's all empty and dead, save for the undead that are running around. And it is all amazingly gorgeous. | |

Morpheus runs with this trope. You're exploring a marooned yacht called Herculania that's frozen in Greenland's icy terrain, and inside are ghosts of the guests and crew that populated it. The actual people have either abandoned ship before it ran aground, or were captured and imprisoned inside a machine that holds is subjects in death-like trances. Eventually, you get the chance to use this machine yourself and explore the various dream worlds those people are having, which also are devoid of any signs of life. | |

The world that Blue Moon Blossom takes place in is drawn in a simple, minimally-shaded, unlined style that draws attention to the colors in the scenery and animals. It's a World of Funny Animals, but lot of different animals are depicted over the course of the comic in contexts that don't portray them as characters, and only a handful of particular individuals could even be considered characters in the first place. Blue Moon Blossom takes its minimalist cast even further than most examples of this trope by not even naming any of the characters in or out-of-universe, in addition to the general lack of text, and only minimally characterizing the ones we could count as characters. | |

Alice Isn't Dead: Zig-Zagged as the trucker Character Narrator vacillates in describing her surroundings with her shifts in mood. In "Omelet," the Narrator ambivalently meditates on the nature of the night sky, and whether its more apt to describe it as "beautiful," or "nothing." In context, she's musing wistfully and nihilistically in the aftermath of being traumatized by a Humanoid Abomination stalker. Subsequently, she articulates a mild fear of particularly empty vistas like flatlands, until in "Nothing to See," she's actually relieved by the pleasant way Kansas grasslands offer "nothing to see." Then she hears noises from her trailer, and her fear and isolation are underscored yet again. | |

Homestuck: After the prologue of the strip is mostly spent with John messing around in his room and going outside, we're treated to a mysteriously atmospheric animation of the empty neighborhood outside. Jane's Sburb land is this, the land of Crypts and Helium. It is very atmospheric and the update it is introduced in contains various puzzles. The author himself said that it was an homage to Myst and other such point-and-click games. Likewise, a Dead Session starts out in a similar state before getting more complex. |

Karmaflow The Rock Opera Video Game flip flops on this depending on the world. The first world seems empty at first, but you encounter animals and later people, but only in an area explicibly said to be the last village remaining due to The Corruption taking over. World 2 is far more of a wasteland, while World 3 is by far the most civilized and populous but interaction is still at minimum. World 4 is the emptiest of them all save for ruins, but only on the surface. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): The Void is a vast, empty dimension. When inside it, a person can see everything on Mobius, and magic can allow a person to do quite literally anything except escape or interact with the outside world.

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses this trope to really sell the story of what happened after the Hero of Time departed Hyrule. The ocean is vast and almost completely uninhabited, except for the small islands scattered throughout the area you spend most of the game exploring, and it's gorgeous. Special mention to the sunken Hyrule Castle which, after the Multi-Mook Melee, is completely empty but is very peaceful. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes a similar approach, using the vast and mostly empty wilderness to hammer home that Hyrule after the Great Calamity has been heavily depopulated. This is especially apparent in the Great Plateau sequence at the very beginning.

The Bakemonogatari series is nominally an Urban Fantasy set in a modern city. Yet it adheres to this trope in how it presents the characters: a dozen named characters are the only people seen, and the urban landscape is entirely immobile and deserted (except for identical cars passing by). The nearest it comes to acknowledging others is a crowd in episode 14 that is rendered by something resembling pop-up figurines. | |

Destiny 2: Unknown Space, domain of the Nine, consists largely of a vast white desert under a dim blue sky, broken by chaotic, monolithic structures that only vaguely resemble buildings and kinetic sculpture-looking doodads. Aside from the lone Emissary of the Nine, it’s clear that the only living things in the whole place are whatever other players you’ve loaded into the map with. Even the enemies that spawn in some missions are nothing more than the Nine’s sock puppets, created on the spot without a will of their own. | |

A lot of the landscape crossed by the heroes in The Lord of the Rings is breathtakingly beautiful, yet quite uninhabited by anyone. Justified in that they're avoiding civilization to elude Sauron's spies much of the time, and many areas' usual residents have fled the coming war. And according to the Appendices at least the northern half of Middle-Earth (Eriador) never really recovered from the Great Plague and the war against Angmar, with only the Shire, Breeland and Rivendell remaining as significant population centers. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses this trope to really sell the story of what happened after the Hero of Time departed Hyrule. The ocean is vast and almost completely uninhabited, except for the small islands scattered throughout the area you spend most of the game exploring, and it's gorgeous. Special mention to the sunken Hyrule Castle which, after the Multi-Mook Melee, is completely empty but is very peaceful. | |

Portal 2 adds precisely one more major character to the cast, not counting the three personality spheres that show up only for the last chapter, and not counting the long-deceased Cave Johnson, who shows up only in pre-recorded messages. Plus there's the heavy implications that the game, set an unknown (but probably very long) time after its predecessor, takes place After the End, which was really plausible in the first game, as Portal is set in the Half-Life universe and as such would be affected by the Combine invasion of Earth - however, the ending of Portal 2 shows Earth with normal shorelines (the Combine drained the oceans) and after exiting Aperture, Chell emerges into a crop field, so perhaps some civilization survived in the USA. | |

The island of The Witness is filled with a diverse array of environments and buildings of both ancient and modern design, but no humans other than yourself. All you really get are audio recordings scattered about the place that give you bits and pieces of backstory.

A common theme with the Prince of Persia games, featuring vast sprawling locales and a cast that rarely exceeds three: Aside from the sand monsters, very much present in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the vast castle grounds you explore and trek through with the Prince, Farah, and the Vizier at the end. Present in Warrior Within with the Prince, Kaileena, and the Dahaka on the Island of Time.

This is key to the horror of Limbo, where the player has no idea what's going on or what has happened to the world. Since the first part of the game is set in a thick forest, it makes sense that you run into very few people (although the ones you do are murderous kids with spears or something, which makes less sense and is never explained) but then you progress into a factory and a hotel which are utterly abandoned. | |

The Crystal Key has a partially known background—an alien empire is annihilating everything in its path, and you're trying to contact the only civilization known to have held out against it even temporarily. However, most of the game essentially fits this, as the people you're looking for have long since vanished except for their Apocalyptic Logs, and enemy soldiers only rarely show up. The aura is quite deliberately a mix of exoticism and quiet menace. | |

Noctis contains 70 billion stars, all procedurally generated. Precious few have life, and your character is the only sentient being. (The website says that there are other exploration ships around, but it's "fantastically unlikely" that you'll ever meet one - the only time you see another starship is when you activate the emergency distress call when you run out of fuel.) There's no win condition, and no way of losing except against existentialist angst—just exploration, and wonder at the sheer emptiness of it all. | |

This feeling seems to be evoked in Mary Poppins as Mr Banks walks alone through the deserted, sodden streets of London to the bank even if it's only because it's night-time. Especially to modern viewers for whom London is rarely completely deserted ever. The absence of the Bird Lady is all the starker for it as well. The gorgeous instrumental version of 'Feed the Birds' helps. | |

Submachine. You don't know what happened to the people who used the Submachine network before you found it (Murtagh is still around somewhere, but there used to be teams at some of these places). You don't know why many of these buildings have been buried. And you don't even really know where anywhere is, because you travel everywhere by teleporter. (At the end of The Root and beginning of The Edge you seem to be travelling through a literal void.) | |

The Scenery Porn is astounding, and Jobu Tupaki states that this universe is one she visits to relax while having a conversation with Evelyn, entirely in Color-Coded Speech with no audible voices. | |

Secrets of Rætikon, at least in the sense that nature has been left to its own devices, allowing a multitude of plants and animals to thrive among the various dormant machines. | |

Transformers: Beast Wars is kinda like this. There are less than ten Maximals, and less than ten Predacons, in a prehistoric Earth populated by primitive hominids. Beast Machines as well. Only now there are, at most, three bad guys at the same time. And they are in Cybertron. And everybody except the good guys is Megatron. |
