About Delirium

✦ AI summary

Delirium is a brutally difficult skill-based platformer that mirrors the chaos of mental health struggles through procedurally generated levels, punishing obstacles, and a minimalist art style designed to frustrate and ultimately enlighten. With hand-drawn visuals, procedural level design, enemy variety, and hidden secrets woven into its narrative, it demands persistence through rage and despair to reach an ending that transforms understanding of both the game and life itself.

This is game is about a very difficult journey through life and mental health issues. It tries to emulate the chaos of the mind finds itself in very difficult situations in life. It is sort of a personal journey with a minimalistic approach and chilling atmosphere anyone can relate to. It leads to rage and the desire to quit and give up. You will want to quit this game! You probably will quit this game! It will induce rage and in that prove it's point. The hardships in life are hard and only through trying and getting back up again, trying time and time again and fighting through the impossible odds you may reach the end. The end? If you've ever had such a situation it will bring you back there, it may make you feel bad, down, enraged and it will try actively to put you back down in the depths of depression and self-doubt. And, then... things will change... Just like real life... Without spoiling too much... Prepare to hate it, rage over it and complain how unfair and stupid some things are and I assure you the life is much like that. But those who endure reap the benefits!

On the gameplay side of things: It is a skill-based platformer. It features procedurally generated levels with a story. There are many different enemies and obstacles. There is a secreted in the game that can be discovered in a very complicated way, do not spoil it if you find it (shhh...)! Click to shoot and space to jump with WASD movement. There is a shop mechanic and a high score. It features a beautiful atmosphere and unique hand-drawn characters.

If you were to compare it to something it would be like Super Mario if he was a super depressed ninja!

✦ AI summary

Delirium is a psychological horror that players praise for its unsettling atmosphere, pixel art aesthetic that creates genuine dread despite its simplicity, and sound design that effectively amplifies the tension. The game features an engaging narrative centered on the protagonist's mental illness that intertwines with exploration and puzzle-solving, though some find it disappointing or feel misled by the experience. Players seem to recommend it primarily to those specifically interested in psychological horror rather than as a universal recommendation.

If you have a friend you kindly offered this game to, and he recommends it to mistake you, indeed you don't have a friend :))

Игра 'Delirium' - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре психологических хорроров. Атмосфера пропитана паранойей и ощущением надвигающейся опасности, даже когда на экране ничего не происходит. Визуальный стиль, хоть и пиксельный, создает поразительно жуткую и детализированную обстановку. Сюжет, поначалу кажущийся простым, постепенно затягивает в клубок тайн и загадок. Главный герой страдает от некого психического расстройства, что вплетается в геймплей и влияет на происходящее вокруг. Исследование локаций и решение головоломок становятся не просто способом продвинуться дальше, а попыткой разобраться в терзающих протагониста кошмарах. Отдельно стоит отметить звуковое сопровождение. Шорохи, скрипы и тревожные мелодии идеально дополняют визуальную составляющую, заставляя сердце биться чаще. Игра умело использует тишину, чтобы создать напряженность, а внезапные звуки действительно пугают. Несмотря на пиксельную графику, 'Delirium' умудряется погрузить в мрачную и пугающую историю. Если вы любите атмосферные хорроры, заставляющие задуматься, а не просто вздрагивать от скримеров, то эта игра - определенно стоит вашего внимания.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
