    DISTRANT is a little, hidden, gem. It's a story about humanity and it's not an usual horror. In fact you can see blood only a couple of times, there aren't no jumpscares.

    And the story is something wonderful, so "human", so dark.

    Give it a try, it's cheap!

    I rated it an 9 because the game could have gone for much longer, just because the atmosphere was so awesome, and the horror bits where truly horrific.

    It's a cute little game with a nice story. It takes less than 2 hours to get through, and it has basically no replay value. I paid about $1 during a Steam sale, and it was worth that price. I would probably be pissed off if I paid $5 for it.

    Buy this game if it's on sale for $2 or less.

    Ein unglaublich packendes Spiel von einem ein Mann Team. Gelungenes Pixel Art, mitreissende Hintergrundsmusik und einige Jump Scares. Props an den Entwickler. Ein Muss für jeden Horrospiele fan.

    DISTRAINT is a game with a rich and eloquent plot, which will open up to the players the depravity of the modern world and will try to create a storm of moral conflicts within.

    Such an incredible experience, an emotional game on a genre filled with empty and uninteresting plots.

    Buen juego
    El estilo artístico es muy bonito
    Funciona en casi cualquier PC
    El sonido ambiente esta muy bien.
    El ju yo en los momentos de tensión te mantiene tenso
    Y la historia me ha parecido interesante.

    The game is short, but it still has the ability to be incredible. Seriously, this game deals very well with issues of greed and thirst for power. Despite having a super sad footprint, I just loved it.

    Incrível, um dos melhores jogos de terror que já joguei. História é ótima, ótimos personagens e uma jogabilidade perfeita... Ótimo para o fim de semana se você quer um jogo de terror com puzzles

    Захватывающий ужастик, который не отпускает даже на секунду. Мрачная атмосфера, интригующий сюжет и захватывающие повороты делают эту игру незабываемой."

    _на самом деле беспокоиться, переживать за свою проделанную работу, это нормально! Если это делать чересчур, последствия будут как у главного героя хоррор инди-игры, совесть не даёт покоя? Лучше вообще не связывать жизнь с коллекторской службой

    _actually worry, worry about your work done, this is normal! If this is done too much, the consequences will be like the protagonist of an indie

    _actually worry, worry about your work done, this is normal! If this is done too much, the consequences will be like the protagonist of an indie horror game, the conscience haunts? It's better not to associate life with the collection service at all

    Шедевр, и концовка огонь! Не думал, не думал что 2д игра сможет, меня не то что напугать а повергнуть в жуть, и задуматься как это быть с одной стороны а потом с другой, советую к прохождению!

    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.
