DISTRUST is an isometric survival adventure with procedural generation on an Arctic research station lost in the endless dark of a polar night. A story-rich fiction with multiple endings that suits both singleplayer fans and co-op enthusiasts.
About the story
They were on a routine rescue mission when a helicopter crash left the two survivors stranded near an abandoned Arctic base. To find a way back, they must explore the base, moving from sector to sector, fighting the severe cold and searching for food and equipment. There's something else, too. Something that should not exist but does. The thing, that enters their sleep and suck the life out of their bodies... Staying awake seems like a safe option, but the lack of sleep is exhausting and leads to hallucinations. Eventually, the survivors will close their eyes and fall prey to the unknown, terrifying force - unless you can somehow strike a balance between exhaustion and falling into a sleep from which one might never awake.

Critic Reviews
Gamefa
By Mostafa ZahediDistrust is one of the best Indie games, with smart use of horror elements. Atmosphere completely matches with the game narrative and constant feeling of danger makes distrust an entertaining game. Still, I believe Distrust had more potential in itself, and could have been an amazing game. If gameplay were more detailed and had more depth. In the end, Distrust is a game that i recommend it to every gamers looking for a unique survival experience.
Pixelophobia
By Łukasz AnkudoDistrust is an excellent survival game. It doesn't hurry you and it doesn't suddenly kills you. What it does it make you watch draining energy bar while your survivors scour for a cup of coffee. It makes you sit on the edge of your chair when your character is about to eat molded tv dinner. It's great, not for consoles though.
Bloody Disgusting
By Jim HargreavesIt’s definitely more of a management sim than a true survival horror game and, in truth, that makes for an interesting premise. However, the inherent unpredictability, lack of direct combat, and some gameplay mechanics that don’t gel ultimately hold Distrust back from being more than an experimental blending of genres.
Screen Rant
By Ty SheedloDistrust touts Carpenter's The Thing as an inspiration. While the setting and score match perfectly, the gameplay feels like an imitation at best.
PC Aficionado
By Timothy HarrisAll in all, Distrust is a fun, engaging, satisfying game, as long as it’s played in short bursts; and the amount of characters for you to choose from allows for decent replay value, with many interesting strategies and combinations. Though, without much challenge outside of RNG, and without the amazing monster designs of the film from which it’s based, it can hard to recommend, unless you’re a true fan of the genre. It took a lot from John Carpenter’s The Thing, bringing all the best aspects of the horror classic into its style and atmosphere, but could have stood to take a bit more, at least to shore up its shockingly lackluster enemy design, and uninteresting plot twist.
