About the Game

BLACKSHARD is a first-person exploration game. Wander through a strange megastructure, the Labyrinth, to unravel its mysteries. Your behavior within the Labyrinth defines the
outcome of your journey.

ENTER THE LABYRINTH

...

BLACKSHARD is a visual and narrative experience, a dreamlike journey
into uncharted liminal spaces. You will roam strange places,
endless corridors and unreal architectures, encountering mysterious
figures that have been forgotten for ages...

WHAT PATH WILL YOU TAKE ?

...

  • Explore a unique semi-open world. Find your own way through the
    Labyrinth.

  • Find shards of memory from those who came before. Accept the order of
    things or choose a different path.

  • Interact with your environment. Transform the Labyrinth with
    unspeakable powers, or preserve its cold complexity.

    BEWARE. YOU WERE NOT MADE FOR SUCH JOURNEY.

"I waited for a time that cannot be told.
The Labyrinth is a dull, sterile and ordered space.

It is the embodiment of time and causality.

The harbinger of the Tyranny of Fate.
I played my part. I watched over the Labyrinth. I resisted the whispers.
I did not intervene. I did not count the unclean numbers.

But the Sign promises. It offers."

EMBRACE THE TYRANNY OF FATE
