Bordeaux, France – May 31, 2023 – Decarnation, the haunting narrative adventure from developer Atelier QDB and publisher Shiro Unlimited, faces internal and external demons on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch today.
Wander into the daunting depths of a world dripping with disturbing beasts lurking within Gloria’s life and, more frighteningly, her mind. Follow the torrid tale of a struggling cabaret dancer who is at the end of her rope, seeking the smallest break amongst life’s hardest days. She accepts a seemingly advantageous opportunity that quickly sours, leading to an evocative journey only the bravest will see through.
Survive twisted mini-games and equally depraved mind matches. Challenge puzzle-solving skills, rhythm, reflexes and more through 15 different types of gameplay in a series of phantasmagorical environments designed to bring tormented souls to their breaking point. Defeat despicable monsters and confront dark internal battles on the blurring plane between reality and imagination.
Enjoy a chilling soundtrack from beloved creatives such as Akira Yamaoka (of Silent Hill fame), Alt236, and Fleur & Bleu in this tortuous, story-driven struggle for survival with surprises around every corner. Explore a world inspired by the most beloved 2D adventure-horror and survival-horror games of eras past and cult movies like Satoshi Kun’s Perfect Blue and David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.
“Decarnation’s nightmarish journey and psychological trials are ready to haunt the minds of seemingly brave souls now and for many years to come,” said Quentin De Beukelaer, founder of Atelier QDB. “Absolutely nothing is as it seems and making it out alive requires joining Gloria on an adventure to the brink of her sanity, and yours.”
