DETUNED

Very cool concept, and has potential, but it was pretty confusing and needs more polish in terms of game play. If you think it looks fun should go for it, otherwise your probably better off finding a different game.

definetly an unique experience, if it werent really taxing for the eyes and the brain i could probably attempt a %100 in one sitting

The most unique game i've ever played. go buy it if you have the cash.

Ok so this game is really well made, and I really don't have any issues except for the price. + The gimmicks are really cool, both positive and negative DRASTICALLY change the game, from transparent fake notes to limited visibility. + The atmosphere is really eerie and cool. + awesome for a horror indie with no jumpscares + very unique game design, very well executed - The game is 1 hour long but costs 6$. if you want a unique indie horror game, i suggest keep looking instead because it is free https://store.steampowered.com/app/3293150/KEEP_LOOKING/ if you want a game similar to this in which you are constantly dodging entities...... also free https://store.steampowered.com/app/871720/Ultimate_Custom_Night/ and if you just want weird surrealism, this game is better priced https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198650/Surrealidade__Definitive_Edition/ Again, no qualms to the developer, this is a really solid game, it's just that this feels like it is a 3$ game max, as the alternatives are WAY cheaper.

It really grew on me over time, but you definitely need some patience as the game is quite cryptic. But if you got a hankering for really weird obscure games, this is definitely worth a play.

DETUNED feels opposite from a rhythm game not just in its concept of avoidance, but in the absolute rejection of flow. Most rhythm games focus on the time after you adapt to their mechanics and feel as though your fingers have a mind of their own. In this game, your attention is constantly being demanded by several separate mechanics, and you have to manage more violent distractions as the run progresses. This works very well for its atmosphere; trying to find something which seems to appear and disappear at random while running from area to area to avoid an abstract concept is certainly disconcerting, moreso than the literal subject matter should be. In other words, by making the gameplay frantic, the developer turned a festival into a panic attack. Well done.
