About Plastomorphosis
⧉ Ｐｌａｓｔｏｍｏｒｐｈｏｓｉｓ⧉ – retro horror game that tells a story about an ordinary citizen who was evacuated to Modern-City, trying to survive and embrace the new reality as a «new citizen».
⧉Attention citizens!⧉
You arrived in Modern-City, the safest city on the Continent.
- The Government of the Sovereign in the Nexus Tower and its' equipment provide protection against any release of dark energy of Re.Surs, therefore, to avoid an emergency, each newcomer must be screened for residual dark energy radiation.
- Please enjoy your stay, but to make your evacuation process more comfortable follow the Instructions of the Administration and Soldiers of Sovereign.
- Please follow these instructions and have a very safe day!

⧉During the screening process, you will discover:⧉
- immersion into a surreal and atmospheric reality
- experience inspired by retro survival horror titles: fixed (aka cinematic) camera angles, tank controls (modern-one will be available too)
- various puzzles, cryptic and not-so-cryptic events
- simulating early 2000s graphics (like cross-gen PS1/PS2 looks), but also using modern post-processing to boost the retro look with fancy effects

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's atmospheric fixed-camera design and mood, with comparisons to classic survival horror titles like Silent Hill 2, though opinions split on whether the setting and aesthetic successfully come together. However, common complaints include poorly paced gameplay with backloaded storytelling, frustrating enemy design that exploits the game's mechanics, tedious combat encounters with inadequate resources, lack of control customization, and a plot that feels contrived and unfinished, making it feel more like an exercise for genre devotees than a broadly recommendable experienc
You know when you read comments like, "This is for REAL fans of the genre"? ... Well, this is for hopeless devotees of the genre. There's some good stuff here, but it's not... an experience I'd actively recommend outside those fixed cam lunatics such as myself. Setting-wise, what we have here is a mash of Half Life 2 and Silent Hill 2. Imagine if Wallace Breen's administration had resulted in City 17 turning into Silent Hill. Our hero arrives in a city gripped in a plague that has transformed its populace into malevolent mannequins. Why? Oh god. There ARE answers but... it's just boring, self-important, waffle and pointless technobabble. It reads like poorly backfilled worldbuilding. What's worse, the tripe is heavily back-loaded, culminating in a pointless to-be-continued. Do not go into this game for the story. So... the environments, then? Do we go into this for the environments? Ehhhh... The first level or two is set in a metro station and it manages to be almost entirely without character. Saturated in the game's signature red, white and black, the grim mood quickly gets played out - this is a very one-note subway station, with none of the humanity or humour one migh…9 found this helpful
Neat little game, latter half is a little rushed though.1 found this helpful
Wonderful so far. Loving the bloody mood lighting in the first area. The camera angles are well considered and dynamic. The Doodoo Man approves :) Edit: The enemies in the second to last area are really annoying. In a game where you are forced to stand still when reloading, there should not be an enemy that can teleport right in front of you and start attacking. Especially when the only weapon you have at that point is a single shot. The only way I found to get through without taking random damage was by going into the menu and un-equipping my weapon and then re-equipping it again to skip the reload animation.1 found this helpful
Can't re-bind controls. Auto refund. It's 2025 people, ffs.1 found this helpful
this was so frustrating to play. every hallway is super long, they make you fight like 2 bosses in a row with not enough ammo, every 1st shot when aiming misses, wack ass puzzles, every character in the game runs like they gotta take a ♥♥♥♥, plot feels like some ai garbage
