Dissimilar

Dissimilar follows Amelia, whose best friend hacks her car and takes her against her will to the Haven, an ancient castle where her family used to holiday when she was a child. There, Amelia is forced to play a game she does not understand. Investigating it may uncover secrets her family wanted to keep hidden, including the truth behind her kidnapping and the reasons for the game.

Explore the Haven

You can roam the castle freely and explore its handcrafted rooms in any order. Search for secret passages, open forbidden doors and uncover the histories of the Haven and Amelia’s family. The castle forms a large, intricate playing board, and observation and curiosity help you find its secrets. The story examines technology, ethics and unspoken family trauma, moving between the present and Amelia’s childhood memories.

Tactical battles

You organise your team, position fighters, develop strategies and anticipate enemy patterns in tactical battles where each choice matters. Every enemy behaves differently, and learning those patterns is key to the battle system, which combines elements of puzzle games and RPGs. Defeat does not end the game: you can explore other paths, gather strength and try new strategies with a range of fighters and skills.

Art and music

The hand-drawn world brings together ancient history and futuristic technology. Its soundtrack blends orchestral and synth music.
