Penrolz's Note: Great Game for Bronies Some Levels Feels like Silent Hill but when you been Pony in this environment its Really Fun to play after finishing the D'LIRIUM you can also design your OC and play it again with your Own Pony Model. I liked D'LIRIUM even though I dont like 2D Games.

I'm kind of impressed how this game manages to be a decent shooter as well as a horror game. I liked it quite a bit and it's worth the $5 in my opinion. Even if the pony characters aren't your thing, it's definitely worth a look.

A really neat game with some interesting ideas. A good mix of horror and shooter.
It plays sort of like classic Doom but top down and with a twist. There is a lot of fun when it comes to combat and exploration. Experimental mechanics are what makes this game really interesting. You have to watch Your sanity. The more You kill the more insane You get. If You kill a lot in a short amount of time Your character goes mental and It's a really great audiovisual effect. It goes interesting places and kept me guessing if my approach to dealing with monsters won't have consequences. It's a brilliant way to put psychological horror aspect into gameplay.
There is even some stuff to do after beating the game. There are multiple endings and arcade mode where You can play community made maps and even create Your own character.
The soundtrack is amazing. There are some very atmospheric tracks in here. Some creepy presentation is also here. Bloody art mixed with cartoon ponies creates this uncanny atmosphere that's pretty effective.
Devs clearly care about this game. They are making huge improvements even now after 5 years. It's a cool game, easy to get into, intriguing and interesting. I recommend it

Surprisingly good. Hard to judge how it is from the tin, I was surprised when I started playing. It oozes atmosphere, and it's obviously a passion project. Very good game so far, feels like a cult classic.

T'was quite hard, but pretty good!
Kinda similar to Diablo II in it's style and plays like Doom in its complexity.
Overall it was and still is quiet fun with well thought out horror aspects to it!
Would recommend this hellish My Little Pony like game.

Re-Writing this review because 2020 Fall Sale, yo.
It's a short, cheaply priced game that's fun. Has a couple of game modes and the devs keep on working on it. Slowly.

Very good game, I enjoyed playing it. Scary scenes and great music, all add sense of peace and death coming together.

I really like this game, and I hope to see more pony related games on steam in the future.

I also can't wait for D'LIRIUM: The Golden Rogue, it looks like it will be a lot of fun too.

So, got into this game wanting to like it. Have to say, I didn't in the end. I don't know, maybe I missed some secret?

Now, the brony sorts might remember "Story of the Blanks". Never played it myself, but I know it's better than this for one simple reason....The story and the characters in it had weight.

All I got from D'LIRIUM was scary visuals, hints of something deeper, and an ending that did not satisfy. I never got to know any of the characters before they were offed, and most of the game was going from place to place without much context. Without any weight, all it had left was the scary visuals and violence. Which I get enough of from other sources, with at least slightly better story.

Bright side, if you wanted something like the original DOOM with ponies, it's got that covered. If you wanted horror, with a story and character to it, look elsewhere for now. Maybe I'll eat these words when the full version comes out...who knows?

Even though this game is still in Early Access, I enjoy playing this game. Not just the gameplay, but the story itself; although, the story has no sense as of yet and I have a feeling we will see more to the story pretty soon. the game itself may have been MLP-inspired so if this game ain't for you, it's fine. If you DO like My Little Pony and Horror, this game may be for you :).

I like it and this is the most scariest game i ever played. It scarier than corpse party which give me nightmares. But it actually very hard and thrillering. So yeah it worth the money. Also it has mlp so neat.

Amazing game. I'm not a huge fan of gore so I've finished it without killing anyone because i've figured out that would give me somewhat good ending. It's great game and I enjoyed especially the shenanigans that i've done with teleportation spell.
I will probably play it with killing enemies to see other ending (or endings, I'm not sure how many of them there is) but it was amazing game. I've never enjoyed horror games, but this one... This one is just what I've wanted.

I was scared to play it at first (mostly cause I don't really like horror), but when I actually started playing this game I pretty much instantly fell in love with it.

This game is fun. Not only can you speedrun it, go on a pacifist route, replay it as much as you want, create your own character, and go on a completionist route, but you can also play user-created levels! I'm keeping this thing. The five bucks that it cost is worth it. I mean, how many games on Steam have ponies in them without modding them first and are actually good?! If you want a classic RPG-style pony game that's challenging and fun at the same time, this is the game to play.

BlueCollarFurry
BlueCollarFurry

Great little horror game that's greatly enhanced by the intentionally low-production values. The low-res graphics and primitive gameplay really do make it feel like a long-forgotten, cheap shareware game from the 1990s. I went in not knowing to expect but the creative use of visceral gore done in such a simplistic style and the Silent Hill inspired Game Over screens really made it extremely unnerving in the best way.

If a unique blend of top-down shooter and survival horror that's inspired by some twisted combination of Silent Hill and My Little Pony sounds compelling than I highly reccomend picking this one up and following it's continued development. It's fairly short in it's current state (once you know what you're doing you can finished a no-kill run in under 25 minutes) but for only $4 the experience is totally worth it.

It's a good game I like Horror games and this fits really well and the fact is this is a Mlp related game on Steam it makes it even Better and it Never lags so it's Perfect for me since I got a Bad Computer Hell I even made Ada on Sfm so yeah I recommend this for Bronies and Horror Fans

Only a few levels into this game but god damn the atmosphere is making me incredibly tense and on edge. The scariest horror (or non-horror) game I've ever played in my life.

CircularFan

I honestly can't write a proper review to express myself, I enjoyed this game much more than I expected
This is a multi-ending horror STG, with many interesting and unique features. It's difficult enough for me to have a blast playing it, but not too hardcore that I need to spend a buttload of time to complete this game.
In the last 12 hours of my gaming experience, I've completed this game twice and was able to see 3 of the endings, and I say this game is totally worth playing. There's a custom pony system, and a lot of workshop potential going on.
The tutorial can be a little more detailed, tho.
btw, if you just bought this game and want to do your first run, make sure you proceed with the teleportation spell, it can be found in the early part of the game, because if you try to walk your way through on your first run, it can be extremely difficult(trust me, I know :(
Anyway, I highly recommend this game to fellow bronies, and I'm looking forward to future updates.

This game is hard. And I mean REALLY hard. You should only play this if you're alright with games that can feel unfair at times. The controls take some getting used to, and some of the instructions given about gameplay features are vague at best. There's also not much of a plot. However, the graphics are pleasing on the eye and I personally think the game is fun once you get used to it. It's got plenty of gore and blasting away enemies can be very satisfying.

I've played a lot of trash i enjoyed, but this is something i can't enjoy, mostly because of the wacky health mechanisms, the fact that u get overrun easily by badly designed fighting system, and the unnecessary and repetitive Personal-Horror-Level when you die.

The story itself is not bad but its overstretched and lovelessly wrapped and turned into an obscure, pseudo-deep experience. Many other games deliver a much more satisfying experience.

Great game, with many interesting gameplay mechanics. The arcade mode and the Steam workshop expands the game's lifetime.
Getting all the achievments can be pretty challenging and, for some of them, force you to play differently.

At the moment the game is regularly updated fixing some bugs, enhancing the experience, reworking some textures and of course bringing new material to the game.

Just a little warning for the new players : some mechanics of the game might be a bit confusing when playing for the first time, but as it is said when launching D'LIRIUM, the "help" menu is very useful to understand what is going on.

Thanks for reading ! :D

Very fun,difficult and has unique mechanics. The only downsides are that the dialogue can feel a bit off and its not completely finished yet. Overrall its a fun and quick experience for $3.99.

A very great and intuitive game. Loads of fun with lots of fan made content. And tons of replay value, with lots to unlock. Great animations and combat mechanics. All in all, a very, very great game.

Mastermax888

Insanely difficult right off the start not allowing the players to familiarize themselves with the game. I had to play 2 hours before becoming completely infuriated with the gameplay mechanics. I'm used to difficult games but this is just ridiculous. Now I wait for my refund...

Lopper

Trash game, dog ѕhit bullet sponge enemies who can just instakill you and some fᴜсkin trash sanity meter that kills you when you eat too much plants or some dumb ѕhit like that, trash weapons that never do any damage except one melee weapon but most of the time you can't do melee attacks without getting killed. Game is so dark even with the flashlight on half the time you can't tell where you are or where you can move so you can rarely ever avoid enemy attacks because they're just as dark as the rest of the game. I once picked up some powerup that said super heath but I still died in 1 hit so that was fᴜсking useless, overall garbage game not worth anyones time. 0/10.

If you like moving around in a completely dark maze and being frustrated and confused then this game is for you! Could use a bit more light - dim and dark is creepy but this is dim and dark to the point that it's no fun.

Why Should You Trust My Review?

I have spent over 35 hours on this game and have achieved all achievements, I have played through every level and currently every custom map available on the steam workshop, thus making me familiar with the games mechanics and quirks. I will also state that this game will NOT be for everyone, that is not to say you won’t enjoy this game, but quite clearly MLP (although not associated with) has somewhat of an inspiration (Cpt. Obvious! I know right?!). So, with it’s grim-dark premise, D’LIRIUM is a short and enjoyable game with ‘interesting’ mechanics with a creepy atmosphere. And who else can describe their game better than the developers themselves? As I can confirm what they describe about the game is what you are 100% getting!

Characters:

So firstly, upon starting a new game you are introduced to the characters within the game;
Ada – Ada is the protagonist of D'LIRIUM which throughout the game is presented with a moral conflict, you play as her throughout the game unless you go onto arcade mode and create your own! She is gifted as what can only be described as a demonic casket by Abel, who is the mansion curator. By opening the casket, Ada unleashes demon like monsters, and seemingly killing her three friends: with Abel disappearing.
Abel – I haven’t got much information about Abel other than he’s the mansion curator which somehow got possession of this demonic casket and had a chance encounter with the other ponies, but I like to think that Abel is the keeper of the demonic casket which was given to him through some unknown authority, with the entire game based upon a grand scheme out of Abel’s control. It is the player which decides if Ada fulfils the scheme or fights her destiny of becoming the ruler of pandemonium. Oh and Abel has nice green eyes!
Claudia – The second character your introduced to! Personally, the one character who I cared about the most throughout the game apart from Ada.
Dismas and Gestas – Your introduced to these 2 characters in a somewhat comical conversation! These 2 ponies go on about their sinister plans, but become idiots when they decide to give away their plan in front of Abel. They do realise Abel has a blindfold not earmuffs? There will be an entire game based on these 2. “D'LIRIUM: The Golden Rogue”.
Cain – I personally don’t have much information on Cain other than this probably refers to Abel and Cain from the bible.
+ Easily distinguishable characters
+ Intriguing suggested character background concepts
- Poor character connections
- Poor character backgrounds maintained
- No gripping characters (e.g. player does not care about them)
Fun fact: All characters (excluding monsters) are based on bible references!

Monsters:

Wandering – Becomes more of a pest late game but can overwhelm.
Howling - Becomes more of a pest late game but can still catch the player if careless.
Impendent – Strategic placement in levels, provides some challenge, the player can be trapped by these if careless.
Horror - Challenging early game but easily manageable mid game.
Lost - Unique monster, adds a challenge especially makes psyche more important.
Phantom - Can be a challenge when it comes to mobility, adds an importance when it comes to Ada’s psyche, can become annoying.
Wraith - Becomes more of a pest during levels, easily avoidable.
Flying Wraith - When integrated with other monsters, these can present a challenge.
Nightmare - Can present a challenge when presented in certain scenarios, late game they can be easily dealt with depending on knowledge of map layout.
Lantern - Hardest monster in the game, rare encounter, very problematic.
Nightmarish - Very hard monsters but due to level design they can be easily countered, these become very problematic if an nightmare turns into these.
+ Unique Monsters
+ Unique Abilities
+ Creates an element of challenge
- Easily manipulated
- Some monsters get boring quickly
- AI navigation can be questionable at times

D'LIRIUM overall:

D'LIRIUM! The 2D top down shooter with an emphasis on gratuitous gore and blood. As a 2D-Game blood and gore tends to look… a little weird but D’LIRIUM manages to pull off a decent job with graphic imagery. Possibly some more variety within it could benefit he game. The backgrounds of D’LIRIUM are often nicely shaded and detailed, allowing the emptier areas to not look out of place, but on the other hand character models themselves don’t have much extensive detail put into them aside an outline and their base colours, but the character portraits are amazing. Many levels consist of exploring and looking around for keys or upgrades to assist in progressing through the level, there are various save-points which are generously placed around the map (except for deathruns). You will find yourself dying quite a lot, this comes naturally with this type of game, the main causes will be an ranged enemy catching you off guard or by the low level teleport spell which is somewhat inconsistent, although corrected as you get upgrades. The use of flashlight helps massively during levels, making navigation and finding secret areas a lot easier.

The theme of this game is nothing which would make headlines, but the game uses the cliché horror theme in a way that it works, the dialogue translations for English could be refined as some sentence structures can lead to confusion. With an horror game it's a good idea to leave some details missing to allow the player to make up their own theories but in this case a little bit of exposition or introduction would have been very helpful, as starting off as a new player is the hardest part of the game. Most of the dialogue ends canny but for me it become kind of cute and comical at times (in a good way). While D'LIRIUM doesn’t have a whole plethora of assets, they do work well as a small team, which created the amazing audio which really shines with how eerie it can create an atmosphere. Sound effects are a bit lacking but the music compensated for that by always being there to create an desired atmosphere, they have used audio cues really well in creating a sense of fear when an enemy was nearby or somehow manages to sneak behind you, this definitely set the tone and takes hold of the reins when trying to make this game scary. A lot of the easy aspects of the game become more challenging when you unlock the deathrun mode, with each lap getting increasingly difficult, alongside weapons becoming more abusable (spoilers)
The 1st lap - monsters become stronger, this is worked out by: DMG+lapx10, in addition the monsters become more of a tank by: HP+lapx15
The 2nd lap - Load/exit disabled during lanterns levels
The 4th lap - Autosaves disabled and only 1 saves per level.
The 6th lap - Teleportation now a one-time use and is spent depending on the modifier.
The 8th lap - Open menu disabled alongside save loading while in personal hell or during slime stun.
The 10th lap - Upon players final death, all deathrun saves are deleted.

But after all the game is early access and I purchased this for amazingly cheap + it has given me many hours of fun and playtime despite the areas for improvement, personally speaking I would of paid more for this game especially with being a part of the game externally and knowing the developers are definitely listening to their fans who give their thoughts and criticisms on their game. I have left MANY details out about this game, I can’t ruin everything for you! This game isn’t a triple A title, it doesn’t need to be! This game would certainly provide you with plenty of fun! Isn’t that what it’s all about? 100% recommended! … First review, condensed by 2000 characters!

This game is good. I mean, ponies but this is horror, a survival horror with pixel graphics. Music, sounds, story itself and what you see. It's very good history and it's worth a try if you like horrors.

the game is good,but there is one thing I can‘t understand,if these monsters do afraid the character,then why they can't just,run away???I mean it's not the reason to attack the character,right?

Mißgunst
Mißgunst

I wished I could slap this game with a neutral review, but sadly I tend to think negatively of this game. I bought this game a couple years ago, it looked quite cool. The game was short, it was moderately fun, and the sole gore was part of the entertainment, back then I would have given it a thumbs up for being an early access after all. Fast forward to the present day and... Nothing has really changed. Sure, the game looks prettier, it has more languages, a couple more spells but story wise we still have the same handful of levels and, for the little that I saw in my short paused 2nd playthrough, no real changes or improvements.
Now, I really like the idea that the devs have in mind: A small 2d shooter with randomized events and key-search (potentially leading to some micro-roguelite) sounds fun, even if for playing for little more than a hoof-ful of hours for at the price of pocket change, but the problem lays on the progress of development that doesn't compensate for the few cons this game has. The game is incomplete as they have stated, and the lack of levels and clunky start make it hard to look forward to making progress, as the lack of weapons from the 1st level makes a very boring struggle of fighting the sprited hitboxes because the only way you can get through the tight corridors is by running into enemies, baiting them into an open (but still tight) area and surrounding them to get ahead of them, and their short attention span makes you run back and forth to be able to achieve it. Health mechanics are also a nice touch despite their simplicity, definitely more interesting than only having a physical-state health and personal hell gives you a small break if you died to a tight situation and gives you the chance to get some better PSYCH for when you return. Again, problem is that all the fancy and cutesy experimental things are obscured by being the same game it was two years ago with zero relevant additions, and even like this, the devs have decided that it's a good idea to set a prequel that, despite looking fun and interesting with the same feeling of D'Lirium, is very likely going to get itself stuck into never getting significant additions if it happens.
Of course I'm a brony, and of course I enjoy me some colourful little horses on the store page, but as much as I'd love to support this game, I can't recommend something that won't be done in a decade and dares to branch out to another project either way.

My litte agony...

It is short, very short so far, but since it's still in early access and doesn't cost much, that isn't too bad.
I really like the artstyle and all effects, even if the screen can get cluttered at times.
And it has custom levels and characters \o/

I am honestly really surprised at this game! I got it as a joke, but it plays so nicely! There is a bit of a curve, but I am excited to play it again to try and kill less!

The 3rd level with a lot of read is very hard to read where I am going. I spent a lot of my time trying to navigate that area. Excited for updates!

(before we start the review I don't care about the ponies and I think they help to make it a more scary game)

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose"
The game starts out with a Christmas theme.
Then does a 360 on you
Of course it's a horror game but it's still a pretty good twist.
The rest of the game is torture
Giving you a good dose of psychological and normal horror and, by good dose I mean too much.
The pony Factor makes it even more horrific and, I wouldn't trade it for human characters.
This game gives me a binding of Isaac vibe. A simple indie development team making a disturbing horror game.

Despite being a experimental game, this still feels like a full fleshed out game so far. If you are a fan of MLP like I am, then you will definitely enjoy this game. If you are okay with disturbing content and very violent themes. Hehe, I've seen lots of stuff in the MLP Fandom, and this game still managed to scare me really badly, but it is part of the charm of the disturbing aspect of the game, the blood and gore, and especially the Death Scenes!

If you love MLP, you really need to give it a try this game! You should try it still, if you aren't a MLP fan, for a unique experience you won't find elsewhere!

Honestly, i only bought this for the pony achievements. I have absolutely no idea what i am supposed to be doing, i haven't even figured out what the blue rings on the cursor are for yet, they don't seem to do anything. I almost wish this was one of those garbage games where you can just stand there and get the achievements because i don't really want to play it. I don't mind pixel games, but this makes Mario look like 4K .... or at least 720p.
It seems to be a good game, i just really don't want to play it anymore, mostly out of frustration because i am too lazy to look it up. So i just wander around cussing at it because something killed me, or i think something killed me, i have no idea what i am looking at.
But i will just keep chugging along because i want the fucking pony achievements.

trying to get the good ending had my heart pounding.
The greatest challenge were the controls.

would advice to stay away, still in early access and the controls are the worst I've ever experienced, not a bad price but still they are better games for that money, music is dull, not even scary just annoying, characters are boring and this just spits on the mlp community, will not be getting golden rogue, wish i could get a refund

Loving the creepy atmosphere of this game, It leaves me on the edge of my seat playing it, I also get really spooked when I see the monsters come from no where to, to people who like to see creepy gore stuff I highly recommend this fun game.

A shooter game with ponies ...

Tries to be horror like(depends on what you find scary) and has a few intresting mechanics(remember to read how they work by pressing F1).

What there is now , is playable but somewhat limited by the engine being used. Also the last update for the game has been almost a year ago.

If you are bored, it's cheap so I can recommend.

So far, this game has been amazing! Its really gory, and its a bit much at times, but you get used to it. Love the eerie, unnerving atmosphere, and everything is really smooth.I both love and hate the "Personal Hell" mechanic, but overall I like having to manage the 3 stats, it keeps you on your toes. The controls are a bit confusing at first, took some time to get used to them and remember what button did what thing, but overall the mechanics are really cool!

Also, pony.

TOP FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️Ripping ponies to shreds?
⭐️Finding hidden secrets.
⭐️Using the mods!

THE UNIQUES:
💎MLP gore.
💎Great fandom.

PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼My Little Pony.
💼Horror.
💼Gore.

VERDICT:
My review may be a little bias due to it being my fandom but i'll try and stay as neutral as possible.

The best thing about D'LIRIUM is the gameplay, it's very smooth and fun to blast your way through the levels but if it wasn't for these achievements and trading cards, then I probably would have left a negative review and the reason behind this is because it's very short and has been in early access for a good 4+ years and doesn't look like it's moving any further than it has.

With that aside, it's well worth the asking price, especially if you're a fan of MLP.
Total Score = 50/100.

Don't waste your time and money on this game, the developers plan to throw this game away, launch a director's cut and make people pay again. Did I pay for this early access to help developers later pay for the same game again? No thanks scammers

This game is pure horror and action, and the health system is one of the most engaging aspect of this game, I'm playing this more times to get all the secrets discovered. I look forward for the next updates!

I thought I had already reviewed this game, so my bad for not doing this sooner. This is honestly my favorite game I've played I've beaten what is currently in the games main story 3 times and got 3 different endings. It's highly enjoyable and it's an awesome retro style adventure in an awesome MLP styled package. Wish there were more games like this, I really love this game.

Very fun, short and sweet horror experience which Is absolutely worth picking up on for the price of 3.99€.
The main story on itself is already very fun and gives the player a good idea of what the game’s about which adds up to around 1.5 hours playtime but the arcade mode with its randomized and the ability to play custom maps is just a heck ton of fun and gives the game a certain degree replay ability.

This game is a hidden gem the pony stuff kinda threw me off for a bit but DAMN this game is so good.
I'm really excited to see you guys update D'lirium and finish Gold Rogue

This game is really hard, at some points to rather bull extents. It is surprisingly easy to get lost in this game, especially by the later levels. Not to mention, the teleportation can easily lead you to an instant death. Plus, in the first level, the soundtrack doesn't loop in a way that is very subtle. However, this game makes up for it all with its charming art style, the rest of its soundtrack fits the mood pretty well, and the control scheme is very smooth. Plus, as hard as this game is, it is not so brutal that you're guaranteed to die. Even if your toxic or sanity levels go off the rails, you can wait long enough for them to go down to healthy levels, as there will often be space for you to calmly rest. I have yet to beat this game, but I have really enjoyed it through and through. Also, see if you can get any of the achievements. A very small percentage of the playerbase has unlocked them, which is unfortunate, given that this game only has a community of about 2.5k players.

In summary, it's a hard-as-nails, MLP-inspired survival horror game with pixel graphics. What more could you ask for? Please show this game some love and support!

Even though this game is short. However this game puts all of that out the window I like the way that you can be a peace loving person or a heartless killer with no soul I get the game is in early access beta. But I hope to see more of the evil side of the game of being heartless. Anyway I am a very dark person and heartless in games like this where you get the choice to kill things no matter what it is. Will join me on the path to darkness?

Game rating: 10/10
I know it needs work cause of the beta but I can see this game working and being a full game with a lot more choices some day.
