Decadent

About

Decadent is a first person shooter with role-playing elements that drops you into the shoes of a World War I veteran turned occultist. You navigate eerie Arctic environments hunting clues from a vanished expedition while battling supernatural threats. Gunplay mixes with resource management as your character’s physical and mental state degrades. Choices matter, your actions shape how far you’ll go to rescue your son and what you’ll sacrifice along the way. The game leans heavily into atmospheric horror with grotesque creature design and unsettling environments. A branching morality system forces tough decisions that blur the line between heroism and monstrous behavior. With Fulqrum Publishing handling release, it draws praise from early access players for its tense combat loops and morally gray narrative. The 20-hour runtime packs in enough lore and set pieces to satisfy fans of survival shooters with a story focus.
