This Game Messed With My Head in All the Right Ways
Decadence completely took me by surprise.
What starts off feeling like a slow-burning exploration game quickly spirals into something way more psychological, unsettling, and personal. The voice acting and atmosphere were top-notch, and I love how the game plays with space, silence, and control — just when you think you're safe, it throws something at you that feels off in the best possible way.
There’s one moment where a character says “give me space,” and I was already on edge — but the timing of it, mixed with the dread in the room, completely broke me. Same goes for the room with the wedding dress — it wasn’t just creepy; it felt symbolic, like I had done something wrong in the world of the game.
This is the kind of horror that sticks with you after it’s over. Psychological, layered, and not afraid to get weird.
With the caveat that this is free and a student project, which I appreciate, it's not great. The "twist", such that it is, can be figured out literally before you even download the game, just by the description. I hoped it'd subvert this and prove me wrong, but it didn't. It's "inspired" by PT, but doesn't understand what made PT so special or frightening. But, it does look very pretty, and bits of environmental storytelling (like the calendar etc) are well done. I think the folks behind this have a lot of potential in this industry, and I hope they can go above and beyond this offering.
As a PT clone, I found this to be a really good one. Very short and simple, but I thought everything was done effectively. It did lag slightly, so I do wish there were some settings I could turn down, but it wasn't the worst. This was fun and good!
The framerate for this game is very low. I'm getting maybe around 20-30fps and had to turn the game off. This is the only game where I have this problem. Please fix so I can play it with a much better experience.
An absolutely gorgeous looking game, one of the best on this website. Very PT inspired game, but does enough to be it's own thing. Absolutely recommend people try this game if you like horror games or just games in general. 👍
Hi! Loved the game, it had a nice atmosphere. Maybe it was short or I missed some parts but it was only mildly scary. My honest opinion is that this is a DEMO for a bigger concept because it could be upgraded and improved so much, it has the potential inside.

Cool game, great graphics and inspired by PT horror games. If you like PT type games try this.
