Baptized in Dismay

About

Baptized in Dismay is a first-person RPG that mixes survival mechanics with story-driven exploration. Set in a fractured 1980s world where borders have hardened and a mysterious illness turns people into shell-like husks, you navigate crumbling cities and fortified enclaves. Choices about resources, alliances, and trust shape how the sickness affects you. Combat is sparse but tense, focusing on evasion and scarce tools rather than brute force. Dialogue and environmental storytelling reveal why society collapsed and how the infection spreads. The game’s slow-burn atmosphere and moral gray zones stand out. Faded propaganda posters and flickering neon hint at a once-familiar world now distorted by fear. Player reviews note how the lack of clear enemies keeps paranoia high, though some found pacing uneven in mid-game sections. With a focus on internal conflict over action, it appeals to fans of thought-provoking narratives over fast-paced thrills.
