Short description
Despondent is a first-person survival horror title. Play as Sedgewick, a young man tossed into a hellish fight for his life while trying to pick up the pieces of his past. Manage a debilitating sickness, hold on to what little hope is left, uncover a rancid plot and just maybe... make it out alive.
About this game
In a world where the supernatural and paranormal are known to exist, they are administered by the Department of Supernatural Intelligence, a body of government put in place to protect the balance. After the D.S.I. pulls resources out of solving a mass disappearance, you as Sedgewick must go it alone and seek the truth about the goings-on inside ground zero. HARGRAVE Once a beautiful and docile place, has turned into a hellish prison for those who disappeared. Make your way through various locales inside Hargrave, from a derelict farmstead to a god-forsaken factory, do whatever it takes to find answers for all those missing people. Will you clasp on to enough hope to escape? Or stay forever ensnared inside Hargrave's rotten mouth...

If left too long without temporary treatment, symptoms will begin to slow you down and make it difficult to outrun or fight those who want you dead.

From different types of spirits to sea dwelling cryptids, keep track of them in Sed's compendium, which will update with every new creature you lay eyes on, after all... it is important to know which ones will tear you limb from limb without a moments thought. But be ready to lay witness to heinous life-forms nobody has ever seen, in places so truly void of hope... you will forever be Despondent. OLD-SCHOOL GRAPHICS Despondent is heavily inspired by games from the late 2000's/early 2010's. It mixes detailed environments and characters with 2D sp…
