Our take on D'LIRIUM
The store framing combines shooter mechanics, horror, violence, random events, unusual controls, and colorful ponies. That mixture signals an intentionally unstable tone but gives equal weight to several distinct identities rather than establishing one clear focus.
What is D'LIRIUM?
D'LIRIUM is an experimental 2D shooter with horror elements, set during a New Year's Eve gathering at a mansion outside a town.
A curator gives his protege an unusual gift that should never be opened, and only a mage can keep it sealed. Gameplay combines key searches and non-linear levels with random events and controls that differ from conventional shooter schemes. Violence is part of the experience, alongside colorful ponies and other unusual touches.
