A stunningly harrowing game that explores the horrors of female objectification, stalking, isolation and accepting oneself and ones trauma. Using relatively simple game play mechanics that are incorporated in multiple ways, the narrative and vibe is clearly a higher priority than any sort of difficulty or oppressing game play. Comfortable enough to leave those things to it's writing and use of visual and audio art to explore such stress inducing ideas in such beautiful ways.

For the price, length and narrative I personally find criticisms of Decarnation being gameplay light incredibly odd. It strikes all the right notes of a horror puzzle game and that's all it needs. If you need something emotionally driving that you can simultaneously relax and experience anxiety through I can't recommend Decarnation enough.
