About This Game

Dive into the fascinating world of Shards, a single-player adventure game where you play as a small clay automaton. Set off to discover a mysterious, hand-sculpted universe, solve small environmental puzzles, and uncover the secrets behind the origins of a ruined pottery civilization.

But don't let the fragile beauty of this world fool you: exploration will sometimes give way to danger. Regularly, you will find yourself trapped in closed combat arenas facing aggressive terracotta automatons. But why? This is where the gentle pace of the adventure shifts into strategic action, wrapped in a mystery waiting to be solved!

"While bodies fail the soul,

Clay shatters,

Shards and water,

Shape a vessel anew." The Creator

Key Features:

  • An atmospheric journey: Explore porcelain ruins and the heart of this civilization's creation.

  • A unique twist: Combat ennemies with only a range attack that can transform into a powerfull lazer if you take the risk

  • Tactical arena combat: From time to time, danger catches up with you. Face waves of enemies in intense arena battles where you will need to dodge and shoot at the perfect moment to avoid being shattered into pieces.

This game is a 20 to 30-minute experience developed by students from ISART DIGITAL for their graduation project!
