About the Game

"The only thing worse than being alone in the dark is finding out you're not..."

Shuttered is a horror game that that gives you nothing but the an old camera to defend yourself. Use the flash to briefly light up the corridors and hope that you don't find something staring back. Find and rescue the souls of the innocent lives that were taken there whilst avoiding a variety of demonic entities intent on making you their next victim.

  • Procedurally Generated Levels - Every attempt will have you navigating a different set of twisting corridors ensuring you can never get too comfortable.

  • Light is a Luxury - No flashlight, no sun, only an old camera to flash and light up the halls ahead of you for a brief moment. What will you do if you reveal an approaching monster and, more importantly, what will you do when the light goes back out?

  •  3 Different Monsters - Encounter different monsters as each level gets more intense. Every new enemy you face interacts differently with you and the light so learn quickly what to do to keep them at bay.

  • Dynamic Enemy Movement - Enemies use a procedural movement system to inhumanly drag themselves through the claustrophobic environment. 

  • Simple but Challenging - The controls and mechanics are easy to learn, but that won't make the game easy. As each level progresses, the monsters get more and more aggressive meaning one wrong move could be your last

  • A Police Investigation Gone Wrong - Play the role of Clara who has taken it upon herself to find out what happened to a group of missing people. What connection does Clara have to this case and why does she keep returning to the scene of the crime?

  • Cameras Capture the Soul - An old superstition that might have more truth to it than anyone realised. If a spirit is trapped, unable to move on, maybe a camera could bring them some peace.

  • More Than Meets the Eye - Where did these monsters come from and what do they want? There is more to uncover here than you may realise.

  • Nostalgic Horror Atmosphere - The visuals of Shuttered are faithfully designed to reflect the visual style of the survival horror classics from the 1990s. Experience a familiar but uncanny horror experience.

  • Look Through the Lens - The lens of the camera will reveal more than your eyes can see. Look through your camera any time and reveal what would otherwise go unseen.

  • Minimal UI - The very minimal user interface will help you feel immersed in the world and increase the tension you feel whilst playing.
