Well now, that’s certainly one way to get someone’s attention. Kon, in particular, has long been a personal favourite of mine. His filmography is small, because he left us far too soon. But every single thing he touched is a certified classic. So if the devs can channel even a fraction of his power, this is going to be one to watch. Available now, and Steam Deck verified.


Official Press Release

The psychological horror game Decarnation is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch
Descend into a twisted world of dreams and nightmares, inspired by iconic horror classics
Bordeaux, France, 31st May 2023 – Shiro Unlimited and Atelier QDB are thrilled to announce that the unsettling horror game, Decarnation, is now available on PC via Steam, Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Prepare to immerse yourself in a psychological torment as you navigate a twisted world of dreams and nightmares. Inspired by iconic 2D adventure-horror games and cult movies from Satoshi Kon and David Lynch, Decarnation is a chilling story-driven experience that will leave players trembling with fear.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure alongside Gloria, a struggling cabaret dancer whose life is crumbling before her eyes. Follow her harrowing journey as she battles her inner demons while unravelling the mysteries of her traumatised mind. Solve cryptic puzzles and confront terrifying monsters that dwell within the darkest recesses of the soul.

Featuring stunning pixel art that intensifies psychological horror, Decarnation seamlessly blends more than fifteen different gameplay systems, each designed to reflect Gloria’s ever-changing state of mind and circumstances. Traverse the eerie streets of 90s Paris, unearthing the secrets hidden within Gloria’s troubled psyche. Experience a profound and relatable sombre story, supported by a bittersweet pop soundtrack composed by Fleur et Bleue.

Decarnation has an extra treat for horror enthusiasts with the legendary Japanese composer Akira Yamaoka, known for his work on the Silent Hill series, who has lent his musical genius to the game. Yamaoka’s original 10 tracks amplify the terrifying atmosphere and elevate the horror experience to new heights.

Dive into the darkness today on Steam, Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch for €14.99/£13.49 and prepare to be mesmerized by the spine-tingling collaboration between Akira Yamaoka and the talented team at Atelier QDB.
