The game

The Shape On The Ground is not a game, in the conventional sense. It is a short horror-themed first-person walking simulator experience which can be completed in 20 minutes.




Consider it as a tarot reading : both a divination and self-reflection tool. A moment in time for yourself, a magick circle, to freely explore your inner world. Walk around a desolate town in search of the 12 dioramas where you will be asked a question.

Answer truthfully, with the answer that best corresponds with how you are feeling. There is no right or wrong answer. Then you will be shown an ending and given a personalized reading based on your answers.

Features

• Five different endings : based on the answers the player has provided
  
• Horror-Themed atmosphere : explore a miniature cardboard town inspired by the works of the Brothers Quay
  
• Low risk gameplay : no enemies putting the player in danger, just a tense and heavy atmosphere
  
• A personal space of introspection : This software is meant to be revisited from time to time, to help identify the changes within the player

What's new in the Steam Edition

Similar to a director's cut, this version of The Shape On The Ground contains new material never seen in earlier versions.

• Two entirely new dioramas, adding more symbolism and mystery to the environment
  
• Two new small areas to explore, where the new dioramas are located : the park and the sewer system
  
• Quality Of Life improvements such as clearer tutorials and removal of some confusing meta-narrative elements
