The WhatsNext verdict
If surreal, gore-heavy top-down shooters with nonlinear exploration and old-school challenge are your thing, D'LIRIUM delivers an unusually strange blend. Expect rough visual consistency and confusing creepypasta-style writing.
What it does best
A bizarre fusion that somehow holds together
Surreal horror that is stranger than it looks
Interconnected levels reward getting deliberately lost
Simple spellcasting with surprisingly meaningful risk and reward
What might put you off
Cute ponies colliding with extreme gore
Creepypasta-style writing and weak translation
The setup
What you are walking into
An experimental 2D-shooter with the elements of a horror game. D'lirium brings together some mechanics back from 90s classics. Non-linear levels, search for the keys, violence and a lot of other things. Including the colourful ponies.
