What players say
"Despite of design flaws, Distortion is unique ride of remembering and music" Indie games always come up with something we used to like or overlook with unique settings. It's a reason I want to support their idea and share to the others. Distortion is a story-driven adventure developed by Brazilian team which caught my attention last year, not by graphics, but musical gameplay and settings. --- Coexisting Worlds...

A somewhat clumsy but endearing action-adventure. What it lacks in finesse it makes for in beauty and soul. If you - like exploring high cliffs and dark caves - like piecing together memories of a life - enjoy atmospheric desolation - don't mind gameplay that pays for each good idea with a distinct lack of polish/QoL you should give it a go.
Great graphics/visuals, sounds and story... However, there are some aspects to this game which makes it barly playable / annoying (I did finish the entire game). Now, below are the reasons why i would not recommend this game to anyone (even if the story is pretty good). 1: The jump mechanics are super bad, I mean sometimes you will jump twice the distance than you do normally. But the worst part.... the WORST part...
