About this game
Dread Delusion places you among floating continents, with towns serving as stops to rest, trade and pick up quests. Follow those quests into the wider world or choose your own direction and investigate independently. Conversations matter alongside exploration: character development can open approaches such as persuasion and lockpicking instead of fighting. Your journey also involves deciding which factions to support or oppose. Those groups pursue their own aims, while your decisions influence the unfolding story. Smithing and alchemy provide ways to improve equipment as you develop your character. The setting is presented through retro 3D graphics, pairing its airborne geography with a deliberately older visual vocabulary.
