Reviews

“Shrug Island - The Meeting draws the player into its colorful world, then sets them free to see what music can do in this enchanted place. While it can be finished quickly, it's well worth your while to lose yourself in the sounds and sights of this place.”

About This Game

Shrug Island - The Meeting is a warmly wistful short adventure, an open door into a playful celebration of music, mystery and nature’s dances.



In a personal fusion of genres, crafted by a small team of music and nature lovers. and featuring beautiful hand-drawn art and soundscapes, it is a game about hope, reconnecting friendship, and hidden pasts.

The Watcher, keeper of the Island’s balance, is losing his powers and calls for help. You are invited on an adventure with two separated Shrug friends, Li and Shri, as they heed his call while exploring the shape-shifting musical landscape they've been away from for a season. Using their power to transform the land by playing music or revealing a hidden layer of the world where forgotten things lie, they need your help on their journey towards each other.

Come away and spend an hour or two with the Shrugs on their lively island home. Unravel riddles of groaning cliffs and puzzles of the past, where crispy crabs, sweeps of seaweed, flights of fish and more mysteries of Shrug time await your voice to speak.

Shrug Island - The Meeting can be played by a goal oriented adventure gamer in around an hour. Wanderers can take a more leisurely path and explore the changing seasons around the Island.
