About
Amelia expected her evening to be perfectly ordinary. What she did not expect was for her best friend to hack her car and bring her against her will to the Haven, the ancient castle her family used to holiday in when she was a child.
Far for being a sentimental visit, this improbable return to the place of her childhood finds Amelia forced to take part in a game she knows nothing about: not the how, not the who, and certainly not the why... And this game just might uncover secrets her family would have rather left hidden.

The Haven is yours to roam freely and in any order you want. Search through its handcrafted rooms, find secret passages and open forbidden doors. Uncover the castle's history and that of Amelia's family on this larger-than-life, intricate playing board.
Your observation skills and a keen sense of curiosity will be the keys to truly know the Haven and uncover every last of its secrets.

Create your own strategies, organise your team, position your fighters wisely and anticipate enemy patterns in exciting tactical battles where every choice matters.
Each enemy has a unique behaviour, and learning them is the key to mastering this unique battle system at the crossroad between puzzle games and RPGs.
Defeat is not the end: explore other paths, gather your strength and establish new strategies with a myriad unique fighters and skills.

Delve into a piece of speculative fiction that questions technology, ethics, and the weight of unspoken family trauma. Investigate both the present and childhood memories to find out the truth between Amelia's kidnapping, and the true reasons behind the mysterious game she finds herself playing.

This entirely hand-drawn world comes alive to a soundtrack that blends epic orchestra and synth music, creating a unique atmosphere where ancient history meets futuristic technology.

Extrem coole Story und ein spannendes, taktisches Kampfsystem. Ein Adventure-RPG Hybrid, der großen Spaß macht.
Je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre avec DISSIMILAR ... Je ne comprenais pas le concept au départ. Des combats tactiques dans un jeu narratif ? Au final on se laisse embarquer par l'histoire et on découvre au fur et à mesure. Gros coup de coeur pour la DA. Attention néanmoins, il faut aimer les jeux qui prennent leur temps avec beaucoup de dialogues.
C'est rare de croiser un jeu comme Dissimilar, qui fait une excellente synthèse entre une patte graphique originale, des musiques de haute qualité, une intrigue de SF prenante et des combats tactiques profonds. Le cocktail fonctionne à merveille, et c'est d'autant plus impressionnant quand on sait que le jeu a été développé par une équipe de 2 personnes. Techniquement, c'est impeccable : aucun bug ou plantage, ça tourne très bien même sur Steamdeck, et l'interface est très efficace. Les combats peuvent être exigeants, et la défaite est parfois frustrante, mais des options d'accessibilité permettent d'avancer dans le jeu en mode 'histoire'. A n'en pas douter une des pépites de l'année 2025 pour les amateurs d'exploration et de combat au tour par tour !
Dissimilar est un jeu comme on en voit peu. Il mêle avec brio phases d'exploration et RPG tactique (les joueurs en recherche de challenge seront servis !! le mode normal suffira amplement à contenter leurs attentes... et pour les autres comme moi, le "mode narratif" vous permettra de profiter du jeu sans trop transpirer), et propose en outre un scénario riche, prenant part dans un manoir de Bretagne et un futur "proche", propice à la réflexion autour de la robotique et de la place grandissante des IAs... L'histoire inclut même quelques révélations et twists rares en jeu vidéo :-) Côté DA, les yeux et les oreilles sont servis. Quand on sait que Dissimilar a été développé par seulement 2 personnes... C'est le genre de bonne surprise à côté de laquelle vous ne voudrez pas passer sans vous arrêter :-) Je suis très heureuse d'avoir eu la chance de découvrir cette pépite pendant Games Made In France, et j'espère que la team nous reproposera un jour un jeu du même acabit <3
Bretagnepunk 2077 Game is good and has an incredible vibe Unfortunately I reached a point where I'm stuck behind two fight level 3 and I'm too bad and idiot so I don't even understand how I'm supposed to do it :(
Dissimilar is one of those indie games that immediately grabs your attention the moment you see it. What stood out to me first is its striking originality. Both the story and the visual direction have a very strong identity, and it’s the kind of game where you instantly feel that you're experiencing something different from the usual indie landscape. The narrative concept is bold and intriguing, and it manages to spark curiosity right from the start. The art direction is equally eye-catching. It doesn’t just serve as a backdrop—it actively reinforces the atmosphere and themes of the game. The visuals are distinctive, stylish, and memorable, making the experience stand out even more in a crowded genre. What also deserves to be highlighted is that Dissimilar is created by a French team, and it’s genuinely impressive to see such creativity and ambition coming from them. There’s real talent behind this project, and it shows in both the artistic direction and the originality of the concept. It’s always refreshing to see independent French developers pushing boundaries like this. Overall, Dissimilar feels like a game driven by a strong creative vision. It’s unusual, visually impactful, and immediately intriguing, which is exactly what makes it memorable. A very promising and original indie experience from a talented French team. 👍 Highly recommended. (Links of the videos in description)
I can say that Dissimilar was a fun game with interesting mechanics that I really enjoyed; the story is nice, and the battles have a certain difficulty. The art style is amazing, and the music is very enjoyable to listen to.
Dissimilar allie narration, puzzle et combats tactiques : un mix original et efficace ! Je n'ai pas encore terminé le jeu (loin de là) mais j'apprécie beaucoup les mécaniques proposées, même si elles ne sont pas toujours évidentes, il faut faire marcher son cerveau et ne pas avoir peur du retry. L'histoire qui repose sur des secrets familiaux et qui aborde les enjeux éthiques liés à la technologie est très intéressante, et me donne envie de creuser. Point bonus pour la DA très réussie !

Wow, an original and surprising game — a subtle blend of tactical gameplay, exploration, and narrative. It’s a great discovery, congrats to the team!
Kellően rpg erősséggel kezd a game, aztán mikor beindult az első körökre-osztott harc, rögtön elpatkoltam, és nem gyengén :) Köszönöm szépen a kulcsot a fejlesztőknek :)
