About The Shape on the Ground
The Shape on the Ground is a short, horror-themed first-person walking experience that takes about 20 minutes to complete. You explore a desolate miniature cardboard town and find 12 dioramas, each of which asks you a question. Your answers lead to one of five endings and a personalized reading based on how you responded; there are no right or wrong answers.
Explore the town
The town has a tense, heavy atmosphere and is inspired by the works of the Brothers Quay. No enemies put you in danger. The game is presented as a tarot reading for divination and self-reflection, offering a space to explore your inner world. It is intended to be revisited from time to time to help identify changes within you.
New areas and dioramas
This edition adds two dioramas and two small areas to explore: the park and the sewer system. It also includes clearer tutorials and removes some confusing meta-narrative elements.
