Fixed occasional bugs that occurred in the game.
Decarnation is a haunting masterpiece that stays with you long after the screen goes dark. Playing as Gloria, a cabaret dancer whose life is spiraling out of control, you are thrust into a world where the line between reality and nightmare is terrifyingly thin. The pixel art is some of the most evocative I've seen, managing to convey deep body horror and profound sadness simultaneously.
The gameplay is a brilliant mix of classic adventure puzzles and symbolic minigames that reflect Gloria's internal trauma. The inclusion of Akira Yamaoka on the soundtrack elevates the atmosphere to a level of dread that few mobile games achieve. It is a mature, difficult, and deeply emotional journey that respects the player's intelligence while delivering genuine scares and a heavy, thought-provoking narrative.

During the chase sequences, don't just run. Look for objects Gloria can push into the path of the pursuer to buy herself time to solve the door puzzles.
The cabaret performance segments require precision. Success in these sections keeps Gloria's 'Sanity Meter' high, making the horror segments slightly easier.
No, Decarnation contains mature themes and graphic imagery intended for an adult audience.
I absolutely adored this game until I had to think and tap quickly when our heroine faces the Dessert Monster. I dodged cream puffs, got to the cassette player, and could get through the first action requiring directional arrows. I am directionally dyslexic and slow twitch to boot, so have not gotten to finish the game. I just offloaded the app because I seem to be the only one with this problem. I would love to finish the game - it really is one of my favorites, but I am sad my brain knows what to do, but doesn’t communicate this properly to my motor skills. Developers, if there is a way to move beyond this scene, please let me know. Well done on a fabulous game!
Holy woman of women. This game was like no game I have ever played. While definitely not for everyone and the trigger warnings are highly warranted, I found this experience engaging, empowering, emotional, devastating, painful, powerful , relatable, and beautiful. I cannot really put it into words other than those. Thank you for this game. It was a game I didn’t realize I needed to play. Hope. Intuition. Compassion. Absolutely incredible!
A full-sensory experience that truly pulls you into the story from second one. The environments feel comfortable and disconcerting in the most mutually respectful way and the dialogue is gripping and actually leaves you wanting more. Probably the most poignant mobile experiences you’re going to find. If you’re doubting getting it, don’t. It’s art in such a rare well-crafted form. Truly deserving of five stars.
I had a great experience with this game. The overall story of the game is well written and designed, flows at a natural pace, engaging, overall great experience. It is definitely on the visual novel side but the way you interact with the environment also is cute and impressive for that small of detail on screen. Def recommend
It’s a masterpiece. Incredible storytelling, graphics, and soundtrack. It really left an impression on me that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Just a fair warning: game deals with very sensitive topics and is not for the faint of heart.
The game itself is fun and creative, but it seems to be trying a bit too hard at a personal agenda and the game rating isn’t right at all. Children should NOT be playing this game. So 13+ rating is genuinely so wrong. The game does well touching with some self love and self care issues but it’s a bit too much at times, turning it from a game to a lecture. The design is great and the writing is good. I recommend this for mature people and to nobody under 17.
I have played this on my Nintendo Switch and have enjoyed it very much, so I had to get it on my phone! I highly recommend giving this game a try!
Probably the closest you’ll get to Silent Hill on your phone (Akira Yamaoka even did the music). Plays fine on the touchscreen, great time
