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!

Congratulations!

I first played the free mobile version of the game about 2 years ago, but I bought it, and re-played it from GOG, because I wanted to see it again and to have it downloaded. It may be short, around 2-2,5 hours, but, believe me, it’s worth every second of it. A thrilling story about mistakes in someone’s life. Don’t make the same mistakes in your lives too! I’d say that the only thing that frustrated me was the running riddles in the 3rd story. I was forced to watch a video walkthrough to solve it. Other than that, everything else was beautifully done and amazing thing that this game was made by only one person. Congratulations, man!

Looks nice

That's about the extent. Really tedious to play and not particularly fun. Story is very preachy. If you got it for free, worth an evening of your time.

Good idea but...

Sincerly the game is pretty simple and extremely short, it didn't scare me and only got some simple surprises out of me due to its great number of illusions(I think they count as jumpscares) appearing. The story is simple leaving me with questions and much to be desired, the only good part of this game in my opinion its the idea behind it but sincerly playing this game felt like a chore.

Amazing game, but could be better

Distraint has some real spooky themes and atmosphere, but the fact you are almost never in any real danger can take away from the fear factor sometimes Sometimes the game has incredibly unique puzzles.... and sometimes we get things like the Mushroom Level, where you're just running around through every door you see hoping you don't get lost Regardless, its a fun spooky game with an affordable pricetag

More of a Walking Simulator

Distraint is a short game and i wouldn't call it a horror adventure, dont't expext to be scared of this game, but its has a kind of Franz Kafka storytelling. The focus is clearly on the script with some easy solveable puzzles an a few not nonsense puzzles. Those can be solved easely, because there are very vew points to interact with.
