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!

Nice game but it tries to be too deep.

It's a nice game to play and have a few scares and laughs, it's quite short and you can finish it in less than 2 hours which I like because I don't have much time to play games, but it might be too short for some. It does have a nice simple but effective story that will make genuinely sad sometimes, but sometimes it seems to try to be too deep with its metaphors and overall story.

A little game for a nice experience

Beautiful. I love those pixel art game. The music is really working with the story. Nothing difficult about this game, nothing to deep in the philosophical way but beautiful in what he is telling. He's not perfect though. The level design is sometimes confusing and I struggled at some point with the lamp and mushrooms mazen. It got me a little out of the game. I finished it in 1 hour or so. I recommand it.

Not bad for a buck!

I liked the story and the characters. A little short and the last puzzle kinda sucks but, other than that it's a nice little horror game.

Drag me to (my internal) hell

If you forgive a little translational jank this is a fun bite-sized game and the price is right. Outstanding for a one-person effort. It is very atmospheric and often quite spoopy. It fills a great niche - if you like a spoopy atmosphere but if full horror games with all they entail (enemies that you can lose to, quick reaction times required, major jump scares, etc) are too much for you then you will love this game. But I would not call it a horror game and many of the harsh reviews are I think due to feeling misled by that tag.

Great game!

Not much to complain about, except that i quit due to not being able to figure out what to do near the end.
