We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror players who want an isometric story campaign
- Stealth fans who prefer choosing between evasion and direct combat

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat without stealth, resource decisions, or puzzles may hit a wall when those systems interrupt firefights.
- Players wanting a fully completed episodic story may stop at the available episodes because Episode 3 is still in development.
- Players who prefer relaxed exploration may struggle with enemies that react to noise and become deadly in groups.
Our take on Dualis
The bounce point arrives when a noisy approach draws several enemies: direct fighting consumes resources while stealth requires slower movement and careful positioning. Players seeking a completed episodic story may also stop at the available episodes because the third episode remains in development.
What is Dualis?
Dualis is an isometric sci-fi horror thriller set in an underground research complex after an unknown incident turns its staff into hostile creatures.
Adam awakens without his memories and searches for an escape while uncovering questions about consciousness, personality, and his own mind. The story includes difficult choices that may affect its finale. Gameplay combines stealth with survival horror: players can avoid enemies, eliminate them quietly, or use ammunition and collected items for open combat. Enemies respond to noise and become especially dangerous in groups. Resource and inventory management shape equipment choices, while puzzles support story progression and can provide additional equipment. Episodes 1 and 2 are available. The vendor states that Episode 3 is in development.
