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.
