    Distrust is pretty top-notch stuff. It’s the sign of intelligent and well-considered mechanics that something as inherently repetitive as Distrust never once felt tedious to me. Russian publisher Alawar previously gave us last year’s Beholder, a similarly high-concept little gem from their home country. This makes them two-for-two on Steam releases, and I can’t wait to see what other fascinating indies they bring us from their side of the world.

    Distrust is a refreshingly unique take on a familiar horror setting, where both players and survivors alike are gradually worn down by a lack of respite, and victory is a hard-fought push to the finish line. Though it's not quite The Thing as billed, Distrust manages to carve out its own fascinating niche with a devious cycle of madness and decay.

Having prepared myself to like the game, I did enjoy my first couple of hours in Distrust. I liked the isometric look, the graphics and the overall atmosphere. The problem is that the make-up wears off quickly due to some terrible design choices.

    In Distrust your goal is to leave the area in every level. You collect items, solve some simple puzzles and in the meantime try to keep your character fed and rested. You get tired and hungry very fast, so you spend the majority of your time cooking and sleeping. Sleeping will spawn aliens which you can try to kill or run away from. After the 3rd or 4th level, the game becomes very frustrating. Loot is RNG based, so your survival is pretty much predetermined when you start the game. At times, you can find a key and a durable jacket to make the game manageable. On the other hand, you will also have games where you will simply not survive long even if you do everything right. In co-op mode, you cannot share some of the tools which simply doesn’t make sense for an RNG based permadeath survival game. You may have three hammers in your inventory, whereas your friend will die because he doesn’t have a hammer to fix a bed.

    Distrust starts strong due to its atmosphere, but falls short of its promises due to bad design.    … Full Review »
