In SHOCK, a gripping third-person psychological horror experience, you find yourself trapped in the dark, claustrophobic confines of an abandoned indoor parking lot, with no memory of how you got there. Playing as a disabled war veteran, you’ve lost both legs, and your only means of mobility is a wheelchair. But as you soon discover, you're not alone. A terrifying, man-made cybernetic creature roams the desolate lot, hunting you down. The question is: can you survive long enough to escape?

Key Features:

Psychological Horror: Dive deep into a haunting world where the line between reality and nightmare blurs. Explore dark, atmospheric environments while unraveling a mysterious story of survival, fear, and the human spirit.

Unique Protagonist: Play as Jack River, a disabled war veteran with amputated legs, navigating the eerie, parking lot in a wheelchair. Every moment counts as you struggle to survive and evade an unstoppable force.

Stealth and Strategy: Use your wits and the environment to hide, sneak, and outsmart the creature. Avoid detection, create distractions, and carefully plan your every move in this tense survival horror experience.

Innovative Movement: With no legs, you must leave your wheelchair behind at times, crawling into tight spaces and hidden areas to escape danger and solve intricate puzzles. Your vulnerability is your greatest challenge, but also your advantage.

Immersive Gameplay: Solve complex puzzles, create diversions using items like bricks, and master stealth mechanics to evade the cybernetic monster that hunts you relentlessly.

Can you escape the nightmare before it consumes you? Only the strongest will survive in SHOCK.
