Degeneration

About

Degeneration is an indie RPG that follows a group of individuals navigating a world figuring out at its seams. Players make choices that shape the story’s direction, balancing survival, morality, and relationships. The narrative emphasizes dialogue and consequence, with branching paths that reflect the chaos of a society in decline. Exploration is minimal but purposeful, focusing on intimate character moments and environmental storytelling. The tone leans into bleakness, but moments of hope and humanity flicker throughout. The game’s strength lies in its unflinching portrayal of societal collapse, framed through personal struggles rather than grand scale. While it lacks combat or traditional RPG mechanics, its focus on decision-driven drama sets it apart. With a runtime of roughly 8-10 hours, it’s a tight experience that prioritizes emotional impact over length. Developer Oktay Şahin crafts a world where small actions carry weight, and the ending feels earned rather than forced. It’s a quiet, reflective journey that lingers after the credits roll.
