Decarnation

But Why ThoKate Sánchez

70/10

Decarnation’s story is thrilling and unsettling, and every point the game gets is because of how well-crafted the winding nightmares are in relation to the overall progression of Gloria’s life.

Decarnation is a psychological horror game that shines with its atmosphere and haunting soundtrack. Both of which can be fully enjoyed on the Steam Deck!

6/10

Decarnation is a visual treat and indie horror fans will potentially love it, but throwaway gameplay elements and a bloated and sometimes confusing narrative results in an overlong and often uncomfortable game.

These issues do detract but don’t hurt what is ultimately a good effort by Atelier QDB. Clocking in around six to eight hours and at a more than reasonable £13.49 price point, Decarnation is another good indie entry in a time when gaming's most interesting experiments are coming on the smaller scale side of development. It doesn’t hit every note but does flower into something strong and worth your time.
