Dread Delusion

It is a good rpg game, a bit running around heavy and gets boring at the end, but overall I have enjoyed my 20 hours or so with it.

Yes very much, story excellent, gameplay surprisingly varied, aesthetics on the level of shrooms.

I really don't know how I feel about this game two hours in. It was going well, I was enjoying it, but I started writing this review while playing through it. Why? Because I went on a sidequest to stop an illusion being projected by a mage, and midway through, it changed to night time and the remaining hostiles all went to go sleep. Here's the thing, you can't wake them up. You can't wake ANY character up. Attacking them, sprinting full speed, stealing their stuff, jumping on them, you outright cannot do it. You also can't rest, except for in a bed, of which there are none usable here, or with some spell I don't have. So, that writes off combat or potentially charming the big bad mage dude, because the three people in here are just decor. But worry not, the game prides itself on multiple ways to play, yes? Well, my Lore skill is too low to interact with the two items that are there to do *something*. I've already lockpicked the door so they could just be completely useless anyway, but there's nothing else I can interact with in this tower. I tried throwing knives at the illusion, I've tried climbing onto various parts of it and whacking it with my sword, I've tried attacking various things in the tower. But while writing all this, I actually achieved a solution. Did the NPCs wake up? No, it's been half an hour of me bumbling around and trying everything I can and typing this and they're STILL SLEEPING. But after finally checking the journal, after confirming that the illusion is indeed an illusion and leaving the chief goon and two henchmen alive albeit in eternal slumber...I can just leave and go back. Is that a satisfying solution? No. Is that an intuitive solution? No. Is it seemingly the only way I can progress the sidequest? Yes. I might change this review later on, but this has been such a frustrating time that I'm still leaving it here.

Everything I loved about older RPG's cleaned up with newer age combat, movement, gameplay, etc. Highly recommend giving this a try

good stuff

good

Probably one of the best RPGs I played. The world, characters, and story are all great. Combat is simple but still you can kill at least one god.

Best story I've experienced in a game for ages

I had a lot of fun with this one, in fact I think this was the best game I've played in a while. The world building and lore is top notch, really unique setting. The story was great. Haven't noticed any bugs and my game didn't crash once. For the price this is an amazing game, not too short not too long, it has just the perfect length. (altough towards the end I was a little overwhelmed with all the things you can do, but that's more a me problem, it was still really fun to explore) And last but not least it has replayability, you can experience the story in different ways. Also if anyone's reading this, who has a potato pc, don't worry it's running very smoothly. (sincerely, a fellow potato pc user) Really looking forward to their next game!

If you yearn for an old school RPG, with mechanics that are of that era you've come to the right place. Gameplay is minimalistic, and the worldbuilding is interesting.
