Decarnation

Decarnation is a pixel art masterpiece that weaves together psychological horror and emotional adventure. 1990, Paris. Gloria steps alone into a whirlpool of fate. After accepting an artistic offer from a mysterious benefactor, she descends into a dreamscape of the mind that is quickly spiraling out of control. The spotlight on stage cannot illuminate the darkness within her, and running away has never been the cure. Can you help her find herself again?
【A Spine-Chilling Psychological Adventure】
Gloria is a cabaret dancer at rock bottom – her career has stalled, her relationships are shattered, and she has lost her sense of self. She accepts a mysterious and alluring artistic invitation. However, this "opportunity" swiftly turns into a terrifying journey deep into her psyche.
【A World Where Reality and Illusion Intertwine】
Explore a mercurial realm of the subconscious, from a bizarre theater to a fragmented reality. Every location is filled with puzzles, enemies, and symbolism. You must traverse this twisted domain, gather clues, solve puzzles, and find a way to escape alive.
【Varied Gameplay, Constant Thrills】
Fusing survival horror, psychological puzzles, and symbolic mini-games (rhythm challenges, reflex tests, optical illusions, etc.), every gameplay element serves to drive the story and emotions forward. This variety immerses you in Gloria’s struggles and growth firsthand.
【Inspired by Classics, Homage to Masters】
Decarnation is heavily influenced by psychological thriller masters such as Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and David Lynch (Mulholland Drive). It carries on the traditional aesthetics and deep narrative style of classic 2D pixel horror adventure games and psychological survival titles.
【Monsters of Dreams, Metaphors of Reality】
The horrors you face are not mere creatures, but manifestations of self-denial, shame, fear, and loneliness. Each battle is an act of self-redemption. Every chapter of the adventure is a process of psychological unravelling and reconstruction. From the Developers:
When "running away" can no longer shield us from the storm, do we have the courage to confront our true, vulnerable selves? This game was born from our long-standing focus on psychological trauma, self-identity, and inner struggles. Gloria’s journey isn’t merely a "woman’s story" – it’s a reflection of anyone who has ever struggled through life’s maze. The monsters she confronts — some come from dreams, some from reality — but most stem from fears and desires deep within her that she had never faced. We hope this story can give you emotional resonance and strength. Perhaps not every struggle is won, but each decision to face it head-on is a step toward growth. Thank you for stepping into this dream, and thank you for fighting for yourself.
