A downloadable game

This is a playtest published the 13th April, 2026.

Welcome to DESPISE. A game with 2D grayscale graphics, interesting puzzles, and some interesting elements, which got inspired by games like Imscared, OneShot and DELTARUNE.

This game interacts outside the game itself, creating files such as textfiles and images. If your antivirus flags this as a threat, it's probably because of this. Proceed on your own risk.

Remember; this is an early alpha. If you encounter bugs, this is normal.

This game supports two languages: English and Spanish.
