## About DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition

DISTRAINT is a 2015 indie psychological horror adventure developed and published by Jesse Makkonen. Players navigate a dark narrative through point-and-click navigation and inventory-based puzzles, with environmental storytelling revealing the story's grim progression. The game incorporates moral-choice framing and time-sensitive sequences to build tension around its central theme of greed and moral decay. Reviewers note the pixel-art aesthetic enhances the oppressive mood while the sound design immerses players deeply in the experience. Players describe the narrative as short but impactful, culminating in an unpredictable and thought-provoking ending. The Deluxe Edition is verified on Steam Deck and retails for 4.99 USD, holding a 90% positive rating from over 1,200 Steam reviews.
