Derange

About

Derange casts you as a student trapped in a creepy Massachusetts estate battling an ancient evil. Exploration and resource management drive the action as you scavenge for tools to survive. The retro pixel art and tense atmosphere harken back to old-school horror games. Puzzle solving and stealth mechanics mix with sudden scares to keep you on edge. The game leans heavily into '90s survival horror vibes with its claustrophobic level design and limited inventory system. While not perfect, some mechanics feel dated, it earned 72/100 on Metacritic from critics who praised its spooky aesthetic and tight jump scares. Best played with lights on.
