About The Shattering
The Shattering is a first-person, story-driven psychological thriller set in the mind of John Evans. Unable to remember his past or even a woman’s name, you follow the Doctor’s voice through key moments in John’s life, piecing together the past and present as his mind leads you through false memories meant to shelter him from the truth. The story unfolds across four acts as you uncover what happened to John and the identity of the woman he cannot remember.
Inside John’s mind
The world is constantly changing, with no fixed limits or rules. Its realistic environments use a pristine white aesthetic, and the story’s mystery develops as you move through them. A serene, emotionally charged original score accompanies the events.
Story-driven exploration
There are no failure conditions or complicated puzzles. The gameplay focuses on moving forward through John’s mind and experiencing the moments that shaped him, as you work to understand what is real and uncover the truth behind his memories.
