Widescreen horror adventures of Distraint go physical

Distraint is a pair of disturbing adventures from Jesse Makkonen, following the misadventures of a young Mr Price, tasked with home repossessions, a natural topic for light and fun adventuring.

The Eastasiasoft bundle goes on sale on the 7th November and features both games on the cart, with a full colour game manual, soundtrack, certificate and box with the LE going for $39.99 or a standard edition for $29.99.
