DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ANDROID AND PC VERSIONS

In order to make the Android port as playable as possible I needed to make some small changes to the game.

In PC version you have a lantern, but porting this over to Android brought too many problems. I decided to leave the lantern out from the Android version and instead expand the environmental lighting. While doing so I also added more color which makes the Android port more pretty to look at.

To have as smooth experience as possible I capped the Android version to 30 frames per second. However, DISTRAINT has a very little motion so this is barely even noticeable.

I'm having the same issue as a few others. At the very beginning after getting the key and unlocking the door, I enter the door, but the screen is just black. The controls are still there but nothing happens. If I close the game and reopen, it is just a black screen and nothing else. Can't even play. Boo. Edit - I reinstalled and gave it access to external storage and that fixed the issue! Now I can play! Seems super cool so far!

A really bittersweet and beautiful game with amazing graphics and fairly easy puzzles. Some startling moments, but no outright jumpscares, which I appreciate. I think the only thing that could make it better is if it had achievements, like in the Steam version. I don't think they would be too hard to implement. My only real issue was that the ads I got were unmutable, and VERY loud. But that's not the game's fault. Please make more games, dev!

I loved this game! It is a lot of fun, challenging at times, doesn't take up too much space, and was a very immersive experience. I was hooked! any time I got a little free time I'd play. I'll definiteky be downloading the second one ! it's hard for me to find good games, I won't forget this one any time soon. I also love the controls and the fact that it really does seem the creator thought of everything as far as different objects, possible player choices/actions, and responses ! Extremely good

Best game app I've played! An actual story. Took 3 sit downs to play. The ads aren't annoying and popping up every 3 minutes. Felt like a short commercial break and did not impede on any of the play! I should have supported in Steam. The mood, design, story, sound, character development, and puzzles all 5 stars! It could really get you at moments when something DISTURBING was happening. 10/10 would recommend.

Wow! Thank you, dev, for this great game! I played it today until I finished it, yes, really! The story is truly amazing and the ending also. But the game screen seemed a bit narrow and dull while playing which made it difficult to see clearly. And the controls could have been made better by using joystick control, or by putting the LEFT-RIGHT buttons on one side of the screen and A-B-O buttons on the other side. But overall, one of the best games I've ever played! Thanks again!

For a game made within a month it's really good! Or at least better than I could ever do personally, anyways. The controls are simple, the puzzles are mostly straightforward and the graphics are mostlyunderstandable, the story is interesting enough to keep you playing. ❗Spoilers ahead❗My only issues are the repetitive ads and the scares towards the end of the game, where jumpscares begin being relied on and it begins feeling a bit rushed; but with the given time frame it's understandable.

I loved it the first time and I still love it now. The graphics seemed to be designed to be uncomfortable (which is good), more so with the characters. The way Mr. Price walks and the looks on each of the character's faces really tops the cake. The music is perfect and I get surprised every time that I'm supposed to XD. I like everything about this game. The story, the plot twists, the message, the music; I hope to see more. Truly recommended and a masterpiece.

A very well done game. Music fits the mood of different stages, the art is fantastic! Puzzles are not too tricky and the controls are easy to manage. The story and overall message (I think it is trying to portray) is to die for. Truly magnificent, thank you for the hard work and amazing experience. Guys, download this game and try it out for yourselves.

This was an amazing game, the way they portrayed what the protagonist is going through is very creative and unique, there are times that the instructions are too vague but it could also just be that I'm a dumb little nut, the characters were great as well but it would've been cool if the protagonist had a companion, but that's only my opinion. Anyway, amazing game, great story and hopefully you make another one!

i finished this game on pc and it's pretty awesome. i'd definitely recommend it. but it's not free, not even on google play. when you download and open it, you'll see only a black screen with 1.39€ on it, and when you tap on that, the payment popup appears. don't waste your data and download it unless you wanna pay. however, it's cheap and it's worth it if you like a spine chilling story and gruesome pixel art graphics.

Constantly just...freezes. It goes to a black screen and just stays there. No sound, no visual. Nothing. I waited, thinking that maybe it was loading but...nothing. It does this when I tried to continue a saved game. Judging by the reviews, I would like to actually play for more than a minute. Seems like it would be right up my alley. Started doing this after the first save point.

Fantastic game. Payed to remove the adds and played some on my phone but it's much better to play on a laptop or PC. The phone version is fine but it's much harder to play on a smaller screen. I have brought both 1&2 on Steam and will continue on the laptop. I haven't finished it yet but I'm glad I found it. Well worth the money. you don't have to spend on it. The game play is simple and good, the story is interesting, the sound is great! Definitely a 5* game

I've played this game 3 times already all the way through, and I am still speechless. No doubt the best story-driven mobile game I've ever played. Gorgeous graphics, wonderfully eerie atmosphere, perfect sound design, and a touching, heartbreakingly realistic story of human nature and life. This is an experience noone will forget. Thank you so much for this wonder of a game!

I love everything about it. The music, the kinda jump scares, the stories and the ending. I was relieved after finishing the game in one day but then suddenly felt empty afterwards. I feel like wanting more. (like multiple endings so i can replay it many times) Anyways, I love the game and I would recommend it to my friends (if I had one)

Lovely game, it's about uncovering the story more than it is a challenging puzzle game, but it's well told and does require you to think to get through the levels. Lovely soundtrack and zero bugs. Plus it was made by one person, so gotta respect the effort. Recommended!

It's good for what it is: go here, click that, run from the zombie elephant. It's adequate, but kind of a chore to play. The story has some notable scenes, but nothing really compelling to make me interested. Good of you've got some time to kill and want something dark, yet light on the story, and super casual to play.

Just finished it, what an amazing game!! I was really impressed how simple yet effective the visuals and sound were in creating an immersive and unsettling atmosphere. Plus, I thought the game succeeded in presenting an engaging and emotional story. 5/5, I would love to see more games like this!

Honestly this was a damn masterpiece of a great and grand game. Truly something worth everyones time to try out and experience. The music, story, gameplay, art, and everything in this was FANTASTIC! And I loved every moment of it. I highly recommend playing this and if I could I would give this 10 stars.
