Disorder

A psychological 2D puzzle platformer. You must switch between two versions of the past: dark & light, positive & negative, hope & despair. Every action is innately tied to this dualistic battle. Traverse a surreal landscape of memory to try and mend a fragile mind.

About the Game

You may think it's simple enough to run and jump your way through life. But there's more to this world... or, rather, these worlds. You're entering the duality of a distressed mind, controlling light and dark versions of the same environment. You hold the key to switching from one to the other. Every step forward shows a new obstacle, and a new way to alter it between dark and light. Become comfortable in both worlds and you may be able to make sense of the dreamy landscape around you. You may even find an explanation for why you're here. Maybe.

Key Features

  • 2D world-switching action
  • Surreal pixel-art landscapes
  • Immersive sounds and striking music tracks
  • Intriguing, ambiguous, downright disturbing psychotic atmosphere
  • An unsettling, humanizing platformer

I'm no hero...
This is a cold world I've entered — all alone —
where only my questions remain to keep me company.


It is your choice to make sense of the answers slowly revealing themselves through time. The mental landscape you must explore is none too friendly. You are charged with following my descent into madness. I can't promise that I can explain what weaves the fabric of this world we've entered. All I know is that the yarn being spun is shaped by your own beliefs. I just hope your will is strong, and your faith resolute.
