It is the 26th century, and Earth is a wasteland thanks to mankind's failure to protect the environment and reverse climate change. Worse yet, thanks to future Earth's lack of an ozone layer, the last remaining humans will soon be wiped out from a massive solar flare. With their options dwindling, a rag-tag group of survivors, including idealistic radio operator Fay and her roughneck team leader Salvador, is sent off into the past to execute "The Phoenix Plan", which will hopefully prevent the ecological apocalypse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, in 1982 Finland, Bent Svensson, a depressed, reclusive retired bio-engineer recovering from Chronic Hero Syndrome, is trying to fix his fogging machine as part of his preparations to cut down an old tree for firewood, only to be interrupted by a mysterious young woman who just arrived on his front lawn in a helicopter and is asking him to come out of hiding...A New Beginning is a point-and-click adventure game published and released by Daedalic Entertainment in 2010 for Windows and 2012 for Mac OS X. It has an official listing on the Daedalic Entertainment website, and is available for purchase direct from the developer and on various digital download services such as Steam, GOG.com, and GamersGate.

Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Invoked in numerous ways. Intentionally by Fay to make Bent believe that a series of Nuclear Disasters would cause the world to become uninhabitable by 2050. Unintentionally by the game developer when the Nuclear Reactor is actually shown in-game and uses a design that not only doesn't exist in real life, but makes no sense at all. Nuclear power in general is this. Nuclear power is the cleanest and safest energy producer humanity currently has. While radiation and meltdowns can devastate whole ares for centuries, regular pollution from fossil fuels cause more deaths from poisonous gas and killing large swaths of food producing areas like the ocean. 1/6th of the planet's population die from issues related to regular pollution. The idea of trying to eliminate nuclear power first is counterproductive. Modern day politics target nuclear power because it can render major urbanized areas inhabitable if maintenance standards aren't upheld (which is sadly true for a lot of major infrastructure like dams and power plants) as well as nuclear disasters being much more spectacular than the slow burn of chemical inhalation and environmental devastation that regular pollution causes.

Artistic License – Physics: Fay claims in her Flashbacks, among other things, she used a red filter to increase power to her plasma drill to break through a wall. Bent points out the red filter should've actually decreased the power of the drill. This in fact Foreshadowing for Fae's story being fabricated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
