“ATTENTION! Play DISTRAINT Deluxe Edition first, as Distraint 2 is a continuation of the first part of the game ✅Very good, short, emotional, and engaging storyline of the protagonist, Price, who shows his struggle with guilt and his own demons,making it easy to identify with him…”

“The ending of *Distraint 2* was exactly what I expected, but it still left me feeling warm and uplifted.DISTRAINT 2 has a slightly better narrative than DISTRAINT 1, and there are several pieces of music in it that are truly beautiful and moving.”
