THE GAME

DISTRAINT is a 2D psychological horror adventure game for PC.

You step into the shoes of an ambitious young man named Price.

In order to secure a partnership in a famous company, Price seizes the property of an elderly woman.
In that very moment, he finds out the price of his humanity.

This is his story and the tale of his regrets...

FEATURES:

DISTRAINT is a horror-novel style of game. It is dark and grim but also has its share of dark humor.

The story progresses quickly which allows for several settings and scenarios. Your journey will last around two hours!

The gameplay is simple but effective: You move left and right and solve puzzles to progress through the atmospheric story.

  • Side scrolling 2D with unique, hand drawn graphics
  • Atmospheric music and sound design
  • Minimalist interface so your focus never wavers from the experience
  • Delve into a unique story full of intriguing twists
  • One man effort - No asset flips or cheap tricks, just hard work!

Short game, but absolutly amazing!

I am so glad to have played this game. Admitially I never even bought it, I got it for free for purchasing another game. However after playing this great game, I really want to play the second. The game isn't really super scary minus a few jump scares, but it does do the job. Very simplistic, mostly a walking simulator, but has an overall great atmosphere. Though it is kind of short, but for the price of 5 bucks, I don't have any complaints. Had I actually known about this game sooner I would of paid out of my own pocket, because its worth every penny. The story is touching, yet very eirie. It teaches a lesson in greed, and depression. Was a happy, yet sad ending at the same time. I give props to the creator. For being a small team of a man, his wife and brother, it is very well done. I would only of liked it to be longer. Game says it takes 2 hours, but can easily be finished in less if you skip all the dialogue and know what to do. Overall great game, and would highly reccomend picking up this gem.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I got this $5 for free, and after letting it gather dust in my library, finally decided to give it a go. Oh boy, don't I wish I'd tried it earlier! Is it dark? Very. Is it depressing? Absolutely. But that's the point, it's a psychological horror, and I can't understand why so many people are complaining that this game is literally what it claims to be. This is a little gem! I'm extremely impressed by its sole developer and will be buying the sequel to support him.

Worth it

This is the second game I've completed without taking any breaks (the first one being Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons). Loved the art style. The mechanics are quite easy to understand. There are horror and puzzle elements every now and then but the game is mostly story based and I like it. I've seen some reviews saying that the storytelling is not deep enough but don't mind those. Simplicity doesn't mean bad. Not every game has to be very elaborate in delivering its message; sometimes a direct approach is more than enough. For anyone interested in this game but still not sure, I'd recommend watching actual gameplay on the internet and decide if they like it.
