About self-indulgence

“When you’re finally there for yourself… will you be able to shoulder it?”Self-Indulgence is a PSX-style psychological horror game that drags you deep into a decaying world where memories rot and truth is a shifting shadow.Guided only by fading memories and desperation, a father searches for his missing child—only to uncover something far more disturbing than he ever imagined. What begins as a rescue turns into a descent into the unknown.🔸 Retro survival horror, reimagined – tank controls, fixed camera angles, gritty textures
🔸 A story-driven nightmare – every clue pulls you deeper
🔸 2 major free updates coming post-launch
🔸 No jumpscares. Just dread.If you loved the eerie silence of Silent Hill, the tension of Resident Evil, and the mystery of Lost, you’re going to feel right at home—and very, very uncomfortable.Are you ready to remember what you’ve tried to forget?

✦ AI summary

self-indulgence is a free retro-styled action-adventure game that attempts to emulate classic PS1-era titles like Alone in the Dark, but players find its execution severely lacking. Common complaints center on poor writing, confusing gameplay, awkward controls, and particularly unflattering character graphics, with reviewers suggesting the nostalgic aesthetic doesn't compensate for the overall low quality. Since it's offered for free, players see little reason to invest time in it despite its clear lack of appeal.

"self-indulgence" is an action adventure/horror game that's basically a lightweight ripoff of the OG "Alone in the Dark" game where you get a camera looking down at each room you're in and you move awkwardly around, interact with stuff, sometimes shoot stuff, and plod through a rather poorly written fan-fiction tier narrative. I know the purpose is to pretend to be a 20 year old Playstation game lookalike, but the problem is, it's not 20 years ago, and we're not console peasants. Developers should at least try to read the room before publishing garbage on Steam... or better yet, before they waste all the effort on making garbage nobody wants (I'm not kidding, either, check the player counts below). The graphics here are particularly awful, godawful low poly pixelcrap garbage, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable…

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.
