I’ve made my piece with that. I’m less okay with the long loading times, the sloppy animation and the hit-or-miss power implementation. Distortions is a bit of a hot mess. I’m entranced by the world on display, but I dread having to navigate it. With patience, this place could be wonderful to explore. Tread cautiously, however. Distortions will pull you in deep before punishing you repeatedly. All is not always what it seems.

Distortions ist eines der merkwürdigsten Spiele, die mir je untergekommen sind. Die surreale Welt verwandelt sich fast an jeder Ecke und wirkt regelrecht wie ein Urlaub von der gängigen Bevormundung anderer Action-Adventures. Geigen-Mechaniken wie die Verformung der Welt oder das Austricksen finsterer Monster werden zwar auf verstreuten Notizen erklärt - vor ihrem Einsatz muss man aber oft erst einmal gründlich die bizarre Umgebung absuchen.

Distortions è un'avventura story-driven di grande sensibilità, raccontata attraverso le rarefatte atmosfere da sogno che riecheggiano nei ricordi dolorosi della protagonista. Le note del violino che suonerete plasmeranno le memorie, il mondo fittizio e la volontà ultima della protagonista, a lungo bloccata in un limbo da cui deve costringersi a uscire per riprendere in mano la propria vita.
