Finished Dread Delusion and I'm just so in love with the game


The combat is kinda not the best, but the aesthetic and the story makes you feel like you are playing this doomed heroine in a dying world. Your actions have consequences but there isn't like one right choice, it's all up to you what you decide the better choice is.
and every character you meet is so interesting, like they are just people trying to cope with how they are living through the death of their world and everything they know, it's soo coool. also the magic and how gods and religion is portrayed in the game genuinely is sooo freaking cool i'm genuinely obsessed with the game. If you haven't played it, you should def give it a go

So for the peeps who played it, i been trying to find more games/books/shows that have the same vibes of a dying world and tragic characters and so on. heard someone recommend reading The Shadow of The Torturer by Gene Wolfe and i did, and while i kinda can see the appeal, the book's portrayal of women just turned me off so much from continuing the series :drat: .

Aesthetic, mood and gameplay wise; I would highly recommend checking out Lunacid! It's a very atmospheric RPG in the same vein as the Kings Field games. Kira, the primary developer of Lunacid, also worked on Dread Delusion, having implemented some of the combat mechanics if I recall correctly. Though I will say that Lunacid's combat is much more refined as gameplay takes the focus. Lunacid does not have as directly involved a story and opts for lore-building via item descriptions, books and the occasional vague NPC dialogue.

I'll be honest, I played Lunacid before DD and because of it, came in with too high of an expectation. I didn't get very far before dropping DD completely :/


Lore wise; Morrowind. No seriously! You wont find another game as alien as the world Morrowind presents. It's so steeped in its own history and world-building that you will really have to read all the in-game books to make any sense of it.

just checked out Lunacid and it's exactly the thing i been looking for, it looks so cool. so def know what i'm gonna be playing next
Thankss :wizard:

I get it to be honest, DD combat is kinda...very bad lol :drat:  but tbh you get to a certain point in the game where you can just drop the combat entirely and just focus on the story.

Lore wise; Morrowind. No seriously! You wont find another game as alien as the world Morrowind presents. It's so steeped in its own history and world-building that you will really have to read all the in-game books to make any sense of it.

i heard some people call DD a morrowind inspired game and i guess yeah it makes sense that the story of morrowind would be really good. i guess i never got into it just cause of procrastination lol :sleep: but ok, i gotta stop being lazy and actually start it  :wizard:

It had been a long time since I had bought a new video game, and I recently decided to purchase DREAD DELUSION. I am pleased with my choice. The game is beautiful despite (or because of) its low-poly, old-fashioned look, and with its world filled with giant mushrooms, half-timbered houses, and alien creatures that bear no resemblance to traditional fantasy creatures, DREAD DELUSION reminds me of a remake of Morrowind but with the graphics of Daggerfall. I've only played for 5 or 6 hours so far, so I can't say if the game will keep me hooked until the end, but for now I've enjoyed every second. And since I hate combat but love exploration, I can't say that the game mechanics are a problem for me!  :skull:

Wow! Thanks for the review about Dread Delusion. The screenshots caught my eye because for a second I thought it was Morrowind, haha. I also hate combat but love exploration! Looks like this game has really strong stories and role-play choices according to Steam reviews? I'm super sold. Added to my wishlist!!
