About the Game”To find yourself in a new, unknown world – it’s like standing face-to-face with a monster. And so many forget: to that world, they are just as much of a monster.”
During the New Year’s Eve, the curator of a mansion built on the outskirts of a town invites his protege and her friends to celebrate the New Year together. He gives her an unusual gift. The gift that is never meant to be opened. And only a powerful mage such as her can keep it shut. It and what it holds within. At least, that’s what the Curator thought…
D’LIRIUM is an experimental 2D-shooter with the elements of a horror game. The game brings together some mechanics back from 90s classics, such as a search for the keys, non-linear levels and a lot of other things. Moreover, the game contains a lot of experimental tricks, such as random events, non-traditional controls for a shooter game, etc.

Plays like Top-down Classic DOOM.
Combat is fun.
Challenges are unique enough to keep you entertained.
On top of that, ponies are very cute.

160+ hours at the time of writing this, 100% completion and gifted to about 5 of my friends.
Honestly? This is one of the most underrated games I have EVER played!
D'LIRIUM plays like the old DOOM games, constantly switching between weapons to take out certain enemies, telefragging the stronger ones, and prioritizing which enemies to attack next.
Custom maps (like Eye of God) especially will test your skill in this department.
The game takes an average of around 2 hours to beat if you're rushing it, and 3 hours if you're taking your time.
But don't be discouraged by that!
The game also has an arcade mode which lets you play with...
- randomized enemy / item spawns,
- your own custom character (or one uploaded to the workshop,)
- custom maps (although most of them are broken with the latest update,)
- a "lantern invasion" mode for those who're more into let's just say... stealth oriented gameplay.
Oh! Right!
This game also lets you play stealthily, so you sneak up on enemies and hit them with a surprise blow if that's your kinda thing.
Alongside multiple difficulty options (and no punishment for playing on lower difficulties,) tons of achievements (look up a guide for some of them tho,) custom maps, custom characters, all packed into a game that costs LESS than a Big Mac?
I'd still recommend this game even if it was $10!
Overall, if you're a fan of top-down shooters that play like the old DOOM games, this is an absolute must-have!
Admittedly the English isn't great, but it's certainly not bad.
The only thing I would change / add is the ability to let people downgrade to older versions of the game (like they used to be able to) so they can play older maps, since sadly 80% of them are still broken, or at least add a fix for that.
10/10 overall! If the dev is reading this, keep up the good work!
And please take my consideration above as I think it would really help replayability! ^^

Love the game, I wish there was an option to make the hud bigger. I think it is beautifully designed and I wish I could get a better look at it.

Do you like old-school shooter games? Do you like horror survival games? Do you like exploring big abandoned buildings & dungeons? Do you like screaming while running from a killer monster chasing you from room to room? Do you like ponies?
This game has all of that! It's like a hybrid between "My Little Pony" & "Silent Hill" with a retro gaming play style.
IT'S HOOF-LICKING GOOD!!

I've been playing the game since before the last year christmas updates and i can say i was impressed then as i am now having recently returned to playing it. Ya want gore and horror? Delirium has that in spades and yet it also keeps things clean in some parts to stay away from just being a gore fest everywhere you look, example being the ice level though i'll avoid spoiling it because honestly every second and secret should be cherished and unspoiled. The love and dedication put into this game with time is truly admirable, i've experienced the changes gameplay wise and i've read all of the dev logs aside from the newest small updates recently. Not just updates, the amount of different special screens, enemy variety, sounds, themes, enviorment details, and etc all culminate alongside an excellent unique health system and battle tools to provide a truly delightful gameplay loop. To finalize, I'm not some grand class reviewer btw this is just my honest review as i have no complaints with this game that i can think of, of course that doesen't meant it's perfect but no game is perfect and i'll play this 10/10 pony game that has sated my craving for a dark pony game anyday. Sorry if some things sound weird and sorry for the long post, i get pretty passionate about gems like this. I wish you the reader a great day, implore you to buy this game and honestly the soundtrack if you'd like because it's wonderful and i wish the team a bright future.
P.S. Thank you for giving us bronies and horror enjoyers one hell of a game! insert smiley face with sparkels here text because i don't see any emoji options lol. Thanks again for reading my long review!
