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!

A very short sad game, but great

This game is super short and I can't recommend it for the gameplay (whice is just simple puzzles and chase sequences). I however recommend this and its sequel to people who like easy narrative-driven games.

Expected more

As a one man project it is good. I can see the passion and craft. But as a game it is weak. I like the pixel art style and the mood. I don't like going from nowhere to nowhere. Story is basic. Maybe this kind of game is not my cup of tea. I didn't like Undertale either. Maybe I don't get it.

Depressing interactive short story

Two keys are not even used, the story is bland and cliche and depressing, the game mechanics are oversimplified, and in one point annoying. Also, likefor a third of the time I had no idea why amI doing things, and a lot of elements felt went nowhere. Lastly, what was that TREE that made speeding car noises?

Short but definitely worth it!

Distraint is a puzzle adventure game which brings my mind to classics such as The Cat Lady, Silent Hill, etc. with its dark storytelling and surreal environments. On top of that there's a great soundtrack and the game is very easy to get into. It's a short but really good game. The theme of the game I wouldn't say is full on horror. but with that said there definitely psychological horror elements and parts of the games which is quite depressing to be blunt. That especially goes for the ending, so a little warning there for people who are feeling suicidal. I recommend this game to everyone who enjoys horror and puzzles games!

Surreal Walking Simulator

The game is creepy and not real horror. However, I enjoyed the story a lot. The puzzles are very easy and you shouldn't have any problems finishing the game in a day.
