## What is 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 broken, and she’s lost her sense of self. She accepts a mysterious, alluring artistic invitation. However, this "opportunity" quickly turns into a horrific journey into the depths of her psyche.
= A World Where Reality and Illusion Intermingle=
Explore an ever-shifting subconscious realm, from a phantasmagoric theatre to a shattered reality. Each location harbours puzzles, enemies, and metaphors. You must journey through this twisted world, gather clues, solve puzzles, and escape with your life.
= Varied Gameplay, Constant Suspense=
Blending survival horror, psychological puzzles, and symbolic mini-games (rhythm, reflex, visual tricks, etc.), every gameplay element furthers the story and emotional progression. This variety immerses you, letting you experience Gloria’s struggles and growth up close.
= Inspired by Classics, Homage to Masters=
Decarnation is strongly influenced by psychological thriller masters like Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and David Lynch (Mulholland Drive). It continues the traditional aesthetics and deep storytelling of classic 2D pixel horror adventures and psychological survival games.
=Dream Monsters, Real-life Metaphors=
What you face are not just ghastly creatures, but embodiments of self-denial, shame, fear, and loneliness. Each battle is an act of self-redemption. Each part of the adventure is a process of stripping away and rebuilding the psyche.
Developer’s Note:
When "escape" can no longer shelter us from life’s storms, will we have the courage to face our real, fragile selves?
This game is the result of our long-standing focus on psychological trauma, self-identity, and inner struggles. Gloria’s journey isn’t simply a "woman’s story" — it’s a mirror of anyone who has ever felt lost in life’s labyrinth. The monsters she faces — some are from dreams, some from reality — but most are born from fears and desires deep inside that she had never confronted.
We hope this story gives you an emotional resonance and strength. Perhaps not every struggle is won, but each choice to face it head-on is a step towards growth.
Thank you for stepping into this dream, and thank you for fighting for yourself.

### 2/5 — Mixed

*2026-03-21*

The game itself is fun and creative, but it seems to be trying a bit too hard at a personal agenda and the game rating isn’t right at all. Children should NOT be playing this game. So 13+ rating is genuinely so wrong. The game does well touching with some self love and self care issues but it’s a bit too much at times, turning it from a game to a lecture. The design is great and the writing is good. I recommend this for mature people and to nobody under 17.

### 4/5 — Stopped by Lack of Coordination

*2026-03-19*

I absolutely adored this game until I had to think and tap quickly when our heroine faces the Dessert Monster. I dodged cream puffs, got to the cassette player, and could get through the first action requiring directional arrows. I am directionally dyslexic and slow twitch to boot, so have not gotten to finish the game.

I just offloaded the app because I seem to be the only one with this problem. I would love to finish the game - it really is one of my favorites, but I am sad my brain knows what to do, but doesn’t communicate this properly to my motor skills.

Developers, if there is a way to move beyond this scene, please let me know. Well done on a fabulous game!

### 5/5 — A masterpiece.

*2026-02-11*

A full-sensory experience that truly pulls you into the story from second one. The environments feel comfortable and disconcerting in the most mutually respectful way and the dialogue is gripping and actually leaves you wanting more. Probably the most poignant mobile experiences you’re going to find. If you’re doubting getting it, don’t. It’s art in such a rare well-crafted form. Truly deserving of five stars.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and Impactful

*2025-12-31*

I had a great experience with this game. The overall story of the game is well written and designed, flows at a natural pace, engaging, overall great experience. It is definitely on the visual novel side but the way you interact with the environment also is cute and impressive for that small of detail on screen. Def recommend

### 5/5 — Horror on the go

*2025-12-21*

Probably the closest you’ll get to Silent Hill on your phone (Akira Yamaoka even did the music). Plays fine on the touchscreen, great time

### 1/5 — This is awful.

*2025-11-28*

This game is terrible, if you can even call it a game. It is 95% dialog with the need to push a few buttons from time to time. Out of the 10+ years I have been downloading games from the App Store… This is by far the worst game I have found. I wish I could get my money back.

### 5/5 — An incredible experience

*2025-11-19*

Holy woman of women. This game was like no game I have ever played. While definitely not for everyone and the trigger warnings are highly warranted, I found this experience engaging, empowering, emotional, devastating, painful, powerful , relatable, and beautiful. I cannot really put it into words other than those. Thank you for this game. It was a game I didn’t realize I needed to play. Hope. Intuition. Compassion. Absolutely incredible!

### 5/5 — So good I bought it twice

*2025-11-17*

It’s a masterpiece. Incredible storytelling, graphics, and soundtrack. It really left an impression on me that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Just a fair warning: game deals with very sensitive topics and is not for the faint of heart.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite games!

*2025-11-08*

I have played this on my Nintendo Switch and have enjoyed it very much, so I had to get it on my phone! I highly recommend giving this game a try!
