D'LIRIUM
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.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “fast retro shooting and secrets” (36 of 97 reviews) and “interesting pony characters and lore” (19); the most common complaint is “weak writing and incomplete lore” (5). What reviewers agree on ↓
