Interacting with locals, including blacksmiths and market vendors, helps strengthen ties with the community.
When developers try to combine deep simulation and real horror, they usually end up with something very slow and psychologically difficult. The new game Shellshock released by the Man the Barricades Ltd studio in 2026 is just such a project. It is a very dark adventure that does not rely on cheap tricks to scare the player. Here you will not find monsters that suddenly jump out of dark cabinets onto the screen every minute. Instead, the game very slowly immerses you in an extremely dense atmosphere of complete uncertainty and isolation from the outside world. You find yourself in a strange abandoned place and your main goal is simply to understand what exactly happened here and find at least some safe way out.

Sometimes they need to throw their comrades over obstacles, sometimes they need to hold them while they grab the next point. The further the team advances, the more challenging the sections become.
