    Another amazing and breathtaking experience from the same developer who made gamers take part in a journey through themselves with Silence of the Sleep. Distraint makes you realize what it is to be a human, to have a soul, conscience and be responsible for your own actions and choices in life. Restro-styled pixelated graphics, little bit of a good soundtrack with decent light effectsAnother amazing and breathtaking experience from the same developer who made gamers take part in a journey through themselves with Silence of the Sleep.

Keep going, I am sure you have tons of ideas to make them all real with these games of yours.… Expand

    Хорошая игра с интересным сюжетом, но крайне скучна в геймплее.

    Distraint is a good little adventure with surreal visuals and great atmosphere.

    Bana pek geçmedi bu oyun. Güzel konulara değiniyor ancak korku öğeleri kötü. Narative olarak berbat hatta.

    It is a nice effort, but it fails on all accounts, as a horror game, story, characters. Everything is caricatural.

    A modest but oddly compelling adventure steeped in perpetual darkness, the surreal side-scrolling Distraint is a low-cost exploration of the high price of selling one’s soul.

    While the story isn’t especially long, it’s absorbing and gives you a lot to think about.

    Considering the atmosphere and the story Distrain is a job well done – instead of ostentatious horror it scares mainly with its realism and spooky normality, wrapped in occasional psychedelia. From time to time I lacked the option to control the game with a mouse and some game mechanics could be more user-friendly. These minor flaws, however, do not change the fact, Distrain is very pleasant experience.
