Description
EMPTY SHELL will throw you in a dark industrial environment, a secret facility on a Japanese island in the middle of nowhere. Each volunteer has signed a contract for a "recovery operation" without being privy to too many details. 



They said the facility had been abandoned for decades, but once in place it was immediately apparent that something was wrong. 
Discover the dark secrets of the facility's years of operation, up until the accident that led to the extreme consequences you are involved in. 

Every time you die, you will control a new volunteer sent to the place. Your starting equipment will be randomized and each level will be generated with a new layout. 

 


Dark corridors and cold rooms. Abominable creatures and bloody fights. Puzzles to solve, equipment, logs and documents to recover await you in this roguelite survival horror. 

 

  • Random generated maps every time you enter a new level or you die 
     
  • A top down perspective surrounded by darkness 
     
  • Scavenge weapons, ammo and gadgets to raise your chance to survive 
     
  • Manage your inventory to make room for what you deem vital 
     
  • Different types of enemies will hunt you down each room of the facility 
     
  • Buy upgrades and devices to help you during fights 
     
  • Find logs and documents from the 1950s to unveil the stories of the people who worked there

Easy not Easy

Went in on medium mode like I do in almost any video game, never made it past the first level. Switched to easy mode and struggled just enough and eventually finished the game. Don't be ashamed to use easy mode

Wanted to like it.

Update: It's pretty good once you get the idea. The concept for the game is good. Still, I would recommend print screening notes you find, as your character does not keep notes. You can also add notes to the map if you like. After playing more, going to change the review from 2 to 4 stars. It's good, but maybe it's unpolished on purpose? Initial Review: I reached a point where I needed a password, so I spent like 10 minutes rechecking the controls, map and menus to find that there's no way to access notes it says you've picked up. Does it expect you to memorize this stuff? I feel like having notes you've found accessible from wherever is kinda basic. If I come back, I guess I'll have to remember to print screen when i find documents. Yea, that sounds like more effort than a game like this should require. Super disappointing, cuz the aesthetic of the game had me pretty hooked until that point.

WOW, JUST WOW

Judging by the ads, this game intrigued me enough to play. I went in thinking it was just another rogue-like. Man was i wrong. With its dark enviroments, simpilistic design, yet very complex, this game really has reached a place in my favorite games this year. Not sure the release date but i dont really care. This game is a must play for people who like challenging games.

Spooky shooting!

Excellent atmosphere and solid gameplay! Ran into a couple of bugs though, but still worth the price!
