A downloadable Virtualized Psychosis

HALF SHELL is an intense, retro psychological shooter where your gun is your love, your life, your shepherd, and your eternal salvation. Feed it sweet treats of shells, lovingly caress it with every rack, and bathe it in the blood of the devil-worshiping cultic militia as you righteously rampage across a rural Midwestern American town. 

Features:

  • A shotgun that is definitely talking to you.
  • A shotgun you can definitely talk to.
  • 2 types of shotgun shells with unique properties (with more to come!).
  • A simulated chamber and tube magazine system that saves your shell load order.
  • An intense desire to maim and murder agents of the cult.
  • Two types of devil-worshiping cultists to maim and murder.
  • A prototype tutorial level to showcase all development progress.
