Check Out This 2.5D Indie Horror Inspired by Ib & Cult of the Lamb

Get ready to navigate through puzzles and experience a mixture of light action and bullet-hell gameplay.

Check out Illusion Carnival, a 2.5D psychological horror RPG set in a whimsical amusement park that resembles a pop-up book.  

I was immediately struck by the game's unique visuals. The game sends me on a nostalgia trip of traditional carnival games, and you can expect “puzzles and light action/bullet hell elements” from the game. 

Illusion Carnival

You play the role of a lost soul, who transforms into a small paper boat and gets stranded in the strange and creepy amusement park, Confettia. Once a bustling hotspot, Confettia is now a corrupt place filled with anomalies who are consuming your spirit. The mystery of what happened to the park's former visitors and the reason for the soul's presence unravel as the journey progresses. 

KiZ, the developer behind this indie game, has shared the three inspirations behind the game and presented some concepts arts that are just stunning: 

“The official release and the demo version are identical in length, offering the first chapter of the narrative. The official release will be available for free, while the demo version serves primarily as a platform for bug identification and feedback collection.”
