About this game
Decadent is a story-driven first-person shooter that combines atmospheric exploration, Lovecraftian horror and expansive gameplay mechanics into an immersive experience - making the player feel a unique sense of loneliness in a dangerous land where time stands still.
You are John Lorn, a royal explorer and a veteran of the Great War, turned decadent occultist. As a result of a traumatic experience during one of your occult experiments, you become a host for a mysterious parasite. Traveling to the Arctic one last time, you follow the traces of a lost Miskatonic University expedition. As your courage and sanity are pushed to the limit, you must learn to walk the line between good and evil and discover just how much grief and suffering you are ready to cause to save someone you hold dear.

FEATURES:
- Visceral 1st-person gunplay and exploration - Make use of exotic weapons and special items as you face the unspeakable denizens of the Barren; such as depraved mountain tribes, hybrid aquatic creatures, ancient entities and ever-shifting horrors.
- Scavenge and customize your arsenal of weapons from conventional 1920’s firearms to hexed pistols given occult properties, strange artifacts and even alien bio-weapons.
- Uncover the "Weirds", the anomalous pockets beyond space and time, sad remnants of the Elder Ones' experiments. For you it is always a gamble – you might find powerful artifacts that will help you in your struggle against the evil surrounding you; or encounter an even greater horror and meet your ultimate doom instead.
- Explore the unknown - you will venture into sunless forests, roam frozen tundras, scale hostile cliffs and endless glaciers, delve into dark caves brimming with alien fungi and underground lakes, discover eons-old mounds and timeless necropoli; you are on a journey to a land beyond sanity and reason, and the wonder of each place you visit will only be exceeded by its dread.
- Advanced gameplay mechanics for a unique experience - unlocking new equipment that enables you to venture into previously unavailable areas; dynamic sanity system that can lead to hallucinations or panic attacks; a character progression system using various artifacts to alter your vital stats and other mechanics all come together to elevate Decadent into a gameplay experience tailored to each player’s unique style and taste.

How Decadent Warps Your Mind
Greetings, occultists and explorers! It is high time we share a bit more in-depth look at some of the mechanics you can look forward to in Decadent - and as it is a Lovecraftian game, we thought we would start with the Madness system! While playing the game, you will encounter many situations that will create a drain on your sanity - from exploring the Weirds, anomalous locations where laws of nature as you know them may not apply and encountering eldritch, otherwordly monstrosities to more mundane, high-stress situations, such as running out of ammo in the middle of a tough fight. All such events will increase your Madness, and as it progresses, you will feel its effects on gameplay as well. We have prepared a narrative trailer, illustrating a truly extreme case of Madness corrupting your mind: The effects of Madness may vary depending on your current situation, but in general, there are several states of mind, each with progressively more severe effects. But you have a choice - play it safe and try to control your mind, or give in to the insanity of the world around you, and fully embrace the Madness - as it can grant your character very useful boons, not only penalties. We will not spoil all the details yet, but to give you a few examples: Moderate Madness Negative Effects: Mild Visual Distortion: At this stage, you begin to notice slight distortions in the perception of the world around. Interface elements may float or blur slightly, and textures in the game may appear fuzzy. All this gradually increases the feeling of discomfort, but does not yet critically interfere with gameplay or put you in danger. Positive Effects: Enemy Anticipation: One of the interesting effects of the medium level of insanity, is an increase in the player's intuition. In a state between reality and hallucination, you begin to sense the presence of enemies in advance. This is shown in-game in the form of a slight illumination, or seeing the outlines of enemies that would be otherwise st...Read full article on Community Announcements (FQ_MichalC)Press Coverage
