A sequel players couldn’t stop talking about: over a hundred reviews praise the narrative alone. Nearly every thread of feedback circles back to the storytelling, while technical hiccups remain a footnote most can overlook.

What it's about: Vous incarnez Price, un homme qui a abandonné son humanité pour s'associer avec une entreprise importante : McDade, Bruton & Moore. DISTRAINT 2 est la suite directe du premier jeu. C'est un conte sinistre où il s'agit de reprendre espoir et de trouver sa propre voie.
