About This Game

DULL ACHE is a psychological horror game about survival, identity, faith, self-destruction, and the frightening parts of yourself you would rather leave buried.

FEATURES

  • Charming, Simple, Handcrafted Visuals - Everything from the in-game sprites to the dialogue portraits is created with so much tenderness and care that most people would think is strange...

  • Beautiful, Heavy Soundtrack - Breathtaking atmospheric background music and pounding, stressful combat music inspired by modern metal, made to fit every... situation you'll find yourself in.

  • Heartfelt, Tragic Story - An emotional, horrifying, multi-chapter journey.

GAMEPLAY

  • Very little handholding - With the exception of visible keybinds and an optional minimap in the pause menu... you're on your own, even if you're thrown into surreal situations out of your control...

  • In-Depth Locations - Almost everything can be interacted with. Try different things at different points of the story, and you might learn something interesting!

  • One Button Combat - Get up and close to take down things in your way! ...Even if you might miss sometimes.

A chapter of DULL ACHE might usually take 45-60 minutes, but that time could be extended when trying to find secret areas.
