April 2025
It’s a bit hard for me not to give this game a negative review at first. DISTRAINT 2 still carries over a lot from the first game, especially the idea of feeling guilty about being a debt collector, which still feels way too exaggerated. You’re just a messenger telling them it's time to pay (that's all happened), there’s really nothing to feel guilty about. However, DISTRAINT 2 tried to explain that, because of his complicated feelings and past trauma, the main character blames himself a lot more than a normal person would. With that in mind, it makes a bit more sense. That being said, the game gives you a meaningful experience. It takes you through different emotions like love, forgiveness, reason, and fear. This is actually the strongest part of the game, and it’s why I would recommend it. You will learn something about your own life, even if it’s just a little, as you follow the main character’s journey. The puzzles are also better this time. In the first game, you could pretty much walk through it without thinking much. Now, the puzzles are a bit more challenging, which makes the gameplay more interesting. Also, the save system is more useful now because you can actually get a "Game Over," unlike the first game. Overall, DISTRAINT 2 feels improved in many ways. Nice job to the developer(s).

Amazing Writing! Prepare to be surprised by how deep the story of this game. I never thought I could learn more about depression and hope from a random indie game like this one. I highly recommend this series

Once again what an Amazing ending! The story of Distraint 2 was going over my head in first half of the game but it all made sense in the end and everything felt connect to Distraint 1. More horror, More emotions and everything just felt good at the end. Fun Fact: This was made by a single game dev!

despite not liking horror games generally, let alone a indie horror game, i've genuinely enjoyed jesse makkonen's take on the genre and his style of games is unique. the sound design in their games is something i also specifically want to single out, as i found it to always be expertly crafted and doing a lot of the heavy lifting regarding the "psychological horror" aspect of the games. this is another entry from makkonen that is extremely advanced and sophisticated for what seems like a simple side-scrolling game. due to how short the game is, i do recommend waiting for a sale and/or grabbing this in a bundle with other games.

Almost makes me wish to refund the less than a dollar purchase to rebuy it at full price. The game did an amazing job telling the story. About when things seem bleak, it can still be salvagable. I liked it, and how it ended. Shame there isn't really a reason to make more, but I'd recommend playing the original, then this, to get the full picture and go on an amazing trip.
