Decarnation

historia envolvente, arte visual maravilhosa curto mas muito bom!

One of my favorite games of all time! By far the best horror game I’ve ever played. The pixel art is incredible, and the music is so memorable (I dream of seeing them release a vinyl or CD for this soundtrack). The story is well written, it sticks with you, and we definitely need more video games about these themes. Some people seem to have struggled with unlocking certain achievements, but everything ran smoothly on my end! It took me a little less than seven hours to finish the game, and I only needed an extra hour to unlock all the achievements. There’s a menu that lets you select chapters without erasing your save, making it very easy to get 100% without using a guide on your first run. PS: I had the chance to meet Fleur & Bleue with my girlfriend during one of their concerts in Paris. They’re really nice, very talented, and passionate! I hope to see them make more music for video games in the future.

DEVS,DEVS,PLEASE I KNOW YOU CAN SEE ME English is not my 1st language so I'll try my best to explain I loved this game in the first 2 hours or so, amazing visuals and soundtrack but after chapter 3 'm bumping into a few bugs. mostly one but extremely bad。but if you guys haven't heard anything about this bug apart from me then I guess you can ignore me I cannot be properly killed by the purple enemies. I know that because I have seen the killing animation before. now whenever they touches me I will get frozen, can't do anything but to restart. but your auto savings are separated for a very long time. currently I'm in chapter 5 doing the boss fight stuff where previously mentioned purple enemies takes a big place. I managed to get 3 out of 4 but failed once I get back to 0, now that does not feels intentional(I hope) so my advice would be A:just fix the animation so everything is smooth and good B:add more auto save spots if you guys don't wanna spend much time on this small issue that you probably couldn't care less about I really like this games' art style and the whole vibe. PLEASE FIX THIS, I'M TRYING TE HELP YOU MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE BETTER I WILL CHANGE THIS TO RECOMMEND IF MY PROBLEM GETS ANSWERED

You guys! This is one that crawls upnon you! While playing it, I gave it 3.5*. And than a day ir two goes by, and I miss it! I miss the MC, I miss the world, and dsmmit I miss the music. And a 3.5* is not supposed to do this, right? Love decarnation! A must olay for indie horror fans! You will fall in love with the music!

Чудесна гра :) Візуал дуже класно передає те що переживає героїня, ости не гірше Видно шо гру робили з любов'ю і доклали багато зусиль

Legitimately nauseating experience. Simple on the surface, but between compelling characterisation and increasingly weird visions I found it legitimately effective. There's less body horror in it than the first impressions would have you believe but the body horror that was present was welcome, I really like how the game looks, and it does a lot with its technically limited setting as well as using the medium for some occasional interesting twists on its own established mechanics. The one thing really holding it back it the ending, which is somehow too hopeful and too... obvious. Needed to be quieter and have a more balanced tone, it just all felt a bit unfitting. Would've been a great ending had it cut off at an earlier line, or cut the club scene and given the dialogue in the final scene a more bittersweet flavour (and not brought back that motif song, I'd have preferred to just sit with the swirl of emotions). Still, worth a play, but definitely a tough one to get through, though at the same time I couldn't really put it down.

[h1] Decarnation [/h1] Paris, 1989. Gloria ist Kabarett-Tänzerin, fast dreißig, und ihr Leben bröckelt gerade von allen Seiten weg. Was als melancholisches Slice-of-Life beginnt, Pixeloptik, süßliche Popmusik, harmlose 2D-Welt, entpuppt sich langsam als psychologischer Alptraum im Stil von Perfect Blue oder Doki Doki Literature Club. Kein billiger Jump-Scare in Sicht. Stattdessen kriecht das Spiel methodisch immer tiefer in den Abgrund. Die Stärken liegen klar beim Storytelling: Die Geschichte geht an Orte, die man nicht erwartet, und tut das mit echter Empathie für ihre Protagonistin. Wer sich auf Gloria einlässt, wird belohnt. Wer auf Gameplay hofft, wird enttäuscht, mechanisch ist da kaum was, es ist im Grunde eine interaktive Erzählung mit Horror-Einlagen. Das Pixel-Art-Design macht trotzdem Eindruck, vor allem wenn die Welt ihre Form verliert und lovecraftianische Konturen annimmt. Der Soundtrack tut sein Übriges. Kurz und nicht wirklich ein Grund um es mehrmals zu spielen, aber das, was es erzählen will, erzählt es gut. Für Fans von RPG-Maker-Horror-Ästhetik und psychologischen Thrillern ein klarer Tipp, alle anderen schauen sich lieber erst einen Trailer an.

Compré este juego esperando una aventura de terror con exploración, acertijos y enfrentamientos, tal como sugiere la descripción. Lo que encontré fue algo muy diferente. Lo primero que quiero aclarar es que no considero que sea un juego de terror. Tiene una historia oscura, aborda temas perturbadores y genera cierta incomodidad emocional, pero eso no es lo mismo que producir miedo. Si buscas una experiencia similar a títulos como Mad Father, Ib, Lamentum o Viviette, este juego no tiene prácticamente nada que ver con ellos. La descripción habla de luchar contra enemigos inquietantes y enfrentarse a monstruos aterradores, pero en la práctica casi no existe combate ni enfrentamientos reales. Tampoco hay mecánicas complejas de exploración. Los controles son extremadamente básicos: moverse e interactuar. Ni siquiera se puede correr. Los "acertijos" tampoco son especialmente elaborados. Muchas veces consisten en ir a una habitación, hablar con un personaje, regresar a la habitación anterior y recoger un objeto. Más que resolver problemas, gran parte del tiempo se dedica a avanzar diálogos. Y ahí está mi mayor problema: hay muchísimo texto y muy poco juego. La historia intenta ser profunda y simbólica, algo que seguramente algunas personas valorarán, pero para mí el ritmo es excesivamente lento. Sentí que el juego se alargaba constantemente mediante conversaciones y secuencias narrativas mientras las mecánicas jugables quedaban en un segundo plano. No creo que sea un mal juego para quien busque una experiencia narrativa centrada en temas psicológicos y simbólicos. Pero si lo compras esperando una aventura de terror con exploración, acertijos desafiantes y amenazas constantes, la descripción puede llevarte a una idea equivocada de lo que realmente vas a encontrar.

As I'm not normally someone who plays horror games, I definitely couldn't have played this if it wasn't pixel graphics! The story is disturbing and unnerving in a way that makes me think about this game often. The events/puzzles were challenging but not too much so - a good balance of story and game. If you're normally more into hard-hitting narratives than horror, this might be the horror game that suits you.
