The Shattering is a first-person, story-driven, psychological thriller. It is a debut production of the Polish team at SuperSexySoftware, with the assistance of the German studio Deck13 Interactive.
Story
The Shattering takes place inside the tormented mind of the main character. Our objective is to survive in this nightmarish reality and find a way to return to the real world.
Along the way, we slowly acquire new fragments of the puzzle, which will eventually reveal the story that led the miserable man to such a state.
Mechanics
In The Shattering we observe the events from a first-person perspective, and the campaign tests both our wits and reflexes, offering puzzles and arcade challenges. The visited locations are shaped by the state of our character's psyche, which is why our decisions also change the surrounding reality and determine the finale of the whole story.
While playing, the player slowly learns the rules governing the mind of the protagonist, which allows them to gain more and more control over time, making it easier to overcome subsequent obstacles. The experience we have gained also enables us to distinguish truth from fiction that was supposed to lead us astray.
The Shattering 's campaign provides about three hours of fun. The game is very non-linear, however, as our decisions significantly influence the dourse of events, so to see everything that the project has to offer, it is necessary to complete it many times.
Technical aspects
The game features fully three-dimensional visual and offers an unusual style - the locations are built mainly of white, black and grey elements, and color appears rarely, signaling the most important objects and events.
Interestingly, when creating The Shattering, the authors did not rely only on their own imagination; the structure of the game and its plot are based on authentic post-traumatic trauma symptoms and methods of its treatment.
