About the Game

Shelf Life is a first person shooter set in a world where certain multibillion dollar companies would much rather be living in. You are a human ballistics dummy who finds himself in the middle of a hostile takeover. The only way to escape with your life is to end the merger by tanking the company's stock, something your CEO seems to be already doing every other week now.

Travel through levels that were dreamed up by society's most deserving of billions of dollars. Armed with a rocket pistol, a novelty lighter that can't legally be called a flamethrower and a laser engraving rifle that shoots NFTs, you are well equipped to defeat the reptilian drones of your rival company Para.

Inspired by the genre defining shooters of the late 90's and early 2000's. Get ready to outsmart your enemies in an arms race of tactics and quick thinking.
