If you have played DISTRAINT, just buy this. You have to do it. If not, buy both as a bundle and finish both.

Distraint 2 is a direct, organic continuation of the first game. It has the same protagonist and expands the plot of the previous title further. Due to this, I strongly recommend buying and playing both games back to back, one after another. You will understand the plot better and feel more nuances.
Once again we are dealing with 2D, pixel art psychological thriller. While the previous game was all about guilt and selling souls to greed, this one is all about redemption and healing, about overcoming trauma. This time all events are in “le head” of the main character and all NPC but few are more or less symbolic representations of psychological aspects of our consciousness. They even have pretty straightforward names, like Reason, Loss, Agony, etc… The journey in Distraint 2 is a journey to inner self, more about introspection than in the first game. We deal with the consequences of our actions and the mental toll our past decisions and events bring to us.
The gameplay is also more polished. Game ditch simple use-item-on-object puzzles for more sophisticated, and yet direct narration. There are more setpieces that you can immerse yourself into than simple point and click mechanics. And yet, the remaining few puzzles are more convoluted, but never to the point when they become frustrating. There is no mushroom maze here, thank God. Unfortunately, the same problem from the first game is also still here — the game is simply too short to pick up right momentum and produce meaningful experience. You will finish it in less than 2 hours. It is — again — an one time only game that has zero replayability value. For the pennies you need to pay for it — right in the exact spot.
Now. It's over. Go home or something.
