About D'LIRIUM
"To find yourself in a new, unknown world - it's like standing face-to-face with a monster. And so many forget: to that world, they are just as much of a monster."
During the New Year's Eve, the curator of a mansion built on the outskirts of a town invites his protege and her friends to celebrate the New Year together. He gives her an unusual gift. The gift that is never meant to be opened. And only a powerful mage such as her can keep it shut. It and what it holds within. At least, that's what the Curator thought...
D'LIRIUM is an experimental 2D-shooter with the elements of a horror game. The game brings together some mechanics back from 90s classics, such as a search for the keys, non-linear levels and a lot of other things. Moreover, the game contains a lot of experimental tricks, such as random events, non-traditional controls for a shooter game, etc.

Developed and published by B52 Development Team, D'LIRIUM is an indie action-horror title that combines retro-inspired shooting mechanics with exploration, puzzle-solving, and psychological horror themes. Built around the design principles of classic games from the 1990s, it delivers an experience that values player curiosity and experimentation over constant hand-holding. While its presentation may appear simple at first glance, the game gradually reveals a strange and unsettling world filled with danger, mystery, and unexpected surprises. The gameplay revolves around navigating large interconnected environments from a top-down perspective while battling hostile creatures and uncovering the secrets hidden within each area. Unlike many modern shooters that focus solely on combat, D'LIRIUM places equal importance on exploration. Players must search for keys, locate important items, unlock pathways, and carefully examine their surroundings to continue progressing. This structure creates a rewarding sense of discovery, making each new area feel like a puzzle waiting to be solved rather than just another battlefield to clear. Combat plays a significant role throughout the adventure a…
Better than silent hill ngl
I really liked it. Come in with an open mind. It will ask you to figure some mechanics out, this is part of the fun. Play around in the menus for a little. You will especially like it if you are the type that believes rough edges add flavor. It has excellent atmosphere with clear yet tastefully distanced inspirations. Also, it's one of the few games to do retro stylings to actually feel old, despite a couple of more modern styled vfx. It truly feels like a game out of time. This adds a valuable layer to the otherworldly atmosphere.
