About the story

At the edge of the world lies the citadel of the Clockwork God, where state-approved magic is regulated by strange machines.

The Clockwork God has calculated that a savior will emerge. But even God has been known to malfunction, of late.

La Orden del Pixel

Dread Delusion, the RPG by Lovely Hellplace, invites us to explore a crumbling and surreal world, with a very particular and nostalgic gameplay experience. A title that stands out for a more than striking aesthetic and a solid scenario design with a color scheme that contrasts very well. The furious crimson sky notoriously highlights the flora and fauna of the islands that are differentiated by their biome and buildings.

There’s a very easy way to tell if Dread Delusion will appeal to you. Does the phrase, “Like a trippy, PS1 version of Morrowind” make your heart all a-flutter? Then you need to play Dread Delusion. Immediately.

The world is intriguing, the dialogue surprisingly funny, and the sights something to behold. The game may end up a little too soft and mushy to wholly come together, but its ease can allow for a wider audience to come check out just how zany everything else is.

Dread Delusion is a game with a rich, beautiful world and a deep, interactive gameplay system. It offers a lot of freedom and customization to the player, but it also has some areas that could be improved, such as the lock-picking mechanic and the lack of guidance in the world. Despite these drawbacks, the game’s strengths make it a memorable and engaging experience.
