Play OverviewPlay Overview

Distrust (2017) is a survival game where you try to survive after a helicopter crash at an arctic base. Inspired by The Thing film, this is a horror game that initially seems to be about surviving the wild, but soon descends into something darker and adrenaline pumping.

You choose a characters from a roster of 15, each of which have different abilities. The game is then played on randomly generated maps of the base. You search for supplies and weapons but must also sleep, keep warm and fed or risk madness, slowing and other related effects. You win the game if you manage to get through 5 maps.

It's a game that builds tension through the gnawing disempowerment of your abilities. "What is that force that inhabits the station? Is that an alien from the outer space or a mythical ancient creature from the from the depths of the centuries? Or is that a result of a failed scientific experiment?"

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Distrust 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 2 years ago.
