Our take on DISTRAINT 2
Rather than centering its horror on fear alone, the story pairs sinister themes with dark humor and a search for hope and purpose. That combination shifts the focus toward Price’s personal direction as well as the puzzles and unsettling atmosphere.
What is DISTRAINT 2?
DISTRAINT 2 continues the first game's story as a 2D side-scrolling horror adventure with psychological themes.
Price gave up his humanity to secure a business partnership, and now searches for hope and a sense of purpose. Players move in either direction, gather objects, and solve puzzles to progress. The dark narrative is paired with humor, twists, and a cast of characters. Hand-drawn visuals accompany music composed for different situations, atmospheric sound, and a minimalist interface.
