    The gameplay is widely praised for its unique and engaging mechanics, including a fun sliding mechanic, satisfying upgrade system, and challenging boss fights with distinctive designs. It offers a blend of tension and reward, combining smooth, replayable loops with a fresh survival horror approach reminiscent of Souls-like difficulty. While initially disorienting to some players, mastering the mechanics results in a deeply enjoyable and immersive experience.

    • “This game is a hidden gem; decently replayable with a few different endings and a fun gameplay loop.”
    • “The sliding mechanic is fun as hell and being able to gain a lot of speed without cooldowns like in most games is one of my favorite parts.”
    • “Each boss has a creepy and unique design and gameplay challenge; sometimes you'll accidentally wander into one and feel powerless against it.”
    • “Inconsistent mechanics”
    • “Each boss has a creepy and unique design and gameplay challenge, sometimes you'll accidentally wander into one and feel powerless against it.”
    • “Deformed can be best described as a survival horror that borrows a few game mechanics from Dark Souls.”

  • story

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 47% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The game features a captivating and atmospheric story with multiple endings, enriched by environmental storytelling, hidden lore, and side quests. Its narrative is supported by high-quality cinematics and engaging characters, offering suspense and scares that enhance the overall experience. Despite a few minor polish issues, players appreciate the depth and intrigue of the plot, making it a highly recommended spooky adventure.

    • “The monster roaming around at the start helps set an amazing atmosphere, making the entire facility feel unsettling. The little secrets and pieces of lore you find make it really fun to work together to uncover the story of the characters and how you got where you are now. The bosses, marked with paintings, almost always surprise and scare you without making the fight just frantic aiming and clicking. The entire game traps you in suspense, throwing in scares that made me scream every time.”
    • “And on top of that, this game also offers a surprisingly deep storyline that even makes you wonder who the true bad guy is.”
    • “Such storyline is narrated both through the gameplay itself, and through amazing cutscenes, whose incredible quality genuinely astonished me!”
    • “In first mission there is a gas leak that kills you (very hard to notice, just annoying not big deal).”
    • “I still don't know how to make Dellah not kill me for the side quest though.”
    • “Not super polished, but cool storytelling elements and more cinematics than expected.”

  • replayability

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    64% positive mentions, 18% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions

    The game is praised for its strong replayability, featuring multiple endings, varied routes, and modes like permadeath that encourage repeated playthroughs. Despite its short length, players find it consistently engaging and enjoyable to revisit. Overall, it offers a compact but rewarding experience with substantial replay value.

    • “There's a whole lot of replayability here: second run mode, permadeath, three routes you can take at the midgame for three endings.”
    • “This game is a hidden gem; decently replayable with a few different endings and a fun gameplay loop.”
    • “It's not a perfectly made game but it has a lot of replay value, with two endings and multiple achievements.”
    • “This game has plenty of replayability as well if you're looking to shoot some bosses, escape and frustrate yourself late at night.”
    • “It's a horror gem that has some replayability.”

  • atmosphere

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for being creative, immersive, and deeply unnerving, successfully blending horror, suspense, and occasional humor. It effectively creates a tense and unsettling environment through its art direction, lore, and well-designed scares, making the experience both terrifying and engaging despite some uneven jump scares. Overall, the atmosphere greatly enhances the game's horror and mystery, leaving a strong and memorable impression.

    • “One of the most creative and atmospheric indie-horror games I've played in a while; if Resident Evil, SCP, and Dark Souls had a baby, it would probably look like this game.”
    • “The monster roaming around at the start, though easy to kill, helps set an amazing atmosphere which makes the entire facility feel unsettling. The little secrets and pieces of lore you find make it really fun to piece together the story of the characters and how you got where you are now. The bosses, although marked with paintings, almost always surprise and scare you in some way without making the fight just frantic aiming and clicking. The entire game makes you lock in, and when the suspense is at its peak, it throws in scares that made me scream every time.”
    • “Additionally, I loved the art direction and atmosphere; they communicated the horror and mystery of the game really well.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for being surprisingly polished and visually solid, especially considering the small development team, with particular appreciation for the cutscenes and aesthetic style. However, some users feel the visuals can feel somewhat uniform throughout the game.

    • “The graphics, cutscenes, and writing are great. I honestly didn't expect it to be this good considering the small team behind it, and I absolutely love the Souls-like 'pre-fight boss cutscene.'”
    • “This game really caught me by surprise: smooth gameplay, good graphics, really fun boss fights.”
    • “The game even looks solid from a graphic standpoint.”
    • “That was probably the aesthetic the developer was going for, but it makes everything kind of feel like the same.”

  • humor

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is praised for occasional funny moments and witty optional gags, adding charm alongside its intense atmosphere and thrilling scares. Many players appreciate the blend of comedy with action and lore, enhancing the overall experience.

    Grinding in the game involves extensive farming of health items and ammo for hours, making certain battles, like defeating the Ripper Dripper, a test of endurance rather than skill.

    Users view the monetization approach positively, praising it as an excellent example of in-game advertising.
