Our take on Self-Delusion
The listing emphasizes folklore creatures, atmosphere and story, while the described play centers on exploration, hiding and running from monsters. Alternate endings add replay value, but the core survival structure remains focused on evasion and escape.
What is Self-Delusion?
Enter a first-person horror adventure set in a fictional realm drawn from Slavic folklore.
Investigate a peculiar house, a former school, a deserted village, and other areas while encountering figures including Kolobok, Leshy, Boggart, and Lapot. Staying alive requires choosing whether to search, conceal yourself, or flee, with each enemy following its own traits and movement habits. Sudden scares and timed chases add pressure, while selectable difficulty levels adjust the challenge. Different conclusions provide additional story context and give reasons to revisit the game. The central objective is survival as circumstances shift and merciless creatures continue hunting the player.
