DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ANDROID AND PC VERSIONS

In order to make the Android port as playable as possible I needed to make some small changes to the game.

In PC version you have a lantern, but porting this over to Android brought too many problems. I decided to leave the lantern out from the Android version and instead expand the environmental lighting. While doing so I also added more color which makes the Android port more pretty to look at.

To have as smooth experience as possible I capped the Android version to 30 frames per second. However, DISTRAINT has a very little motion so this is barely even noticeable.

I really love all aspects of the game. The artsytle is great, detailed, and unique, the music plays according to the mood every part gives. The ambience is really good and makes me feel like I am experiencing it my self. The story is quiet good too. The only downside is that the game is quiet short and some of the puzzles are confusing which takes a long time to progress with no single clue. Overall a 5-star game, really liked it!
