About Bernackels' Shoggoth


Shoggoth is a multiplayer (4vs2) stealth game, in which the player takes on the role of a small dragon. With the ability to fly and to morph into items, your mission is either to seek and kill your opponents or to search for keys and escape the level.

Powerful items are randomly scattered throughout the level and will help you reach your goal. The highly interactive environment gives players the chance to search for clues left behind by others.  

Our fully replicated physics and sound system requires the player to traverse the level with great care, as changes in the environment might reveal the player's position. 

Key Features



• multiplayer - Shoggoth leaves plenty of room for player interaction and coordination. The team and map sizes adjust to the number of players. 

• randomly scattered items – Each game will be different.  Most items have a small chance to be of a legendary grade.

• polymorph – The players can morph themselves into common items like chairs, cans, plates, (...) to hide. Every collected item of this type will prolong the time of the polymorph.

• sound – Bernackels' Shoggoth is heavily dependant on sound. If you move too fast, the environment will reveal your position. 

• clues – Any serious impact lets your dragon shriek and bleed.  Changes to the state of the environment (blood, opened doors, switched lights, misplaced items...) may reveal a player's position. 

• flying – The flying system is easy to understand, but hard to master. With the right angle and timing, you might get an advantage over your enemy.

• stealth  – Hiding and sneaking are essential gameplay mechanics. The chances to flee successfully from a hunter are slim. 

• physics – Almost every item is physically simulated and replicated throughout the network.

Neat game, fun to mess around with. Controls, game and graphics all felt and looked smooth. Was actually really entertaining. A bit older and you can see this when you play but for a free game and some open time on a weekend, it's worth giving it a try.

Sadly a dead game. You can play with friends but otherwise unplayable. Gorgeous but dead.

Игра "Bernackels' Shoggoth" – это глоток свежего (хотя и отвратительно пахнущего рыбой) воздуха в жанре хоррор-выживания. Графика намеренно пиксельная и грубая, что, как ни странно, добавляет атмосфере безысходности и клаустрофобии. Шум, хрипы и общая неопределенность только усиливают эффект. Сюжет простой, но жуткий: оказавшись на заброшенной буровой платформе, игрок должен выжить, избегая столкновений с Шогготом. Ресурсы крайне ограничены, и каждый выстрел, каждое зажжённое факельное освещение - важное решение. Игра довольно сложная и требует тактического подхода. Прятаться, отвлекать, использовать окружение – вот ключи к выживанию. Атмосфера гнетущей угрозы отлично передана, заставляя сердце стучать быстрее. Даже после смерти хочется попробовать снова, чтобы хоть немного продвинуться дальше и раскрыть тайны платформы. Несмотря на минималистичный стиль, игра умудряется напугать до мурашек. Рекомендую всем любителям лавкрафтовской атмосферы и хардкорного выживания. Единственный минус - хотелось бы больше разнообразия в окружении и поведении Шоггота.

If someone says the name of this game to you out loud with no context they'll sound like they're having a stroke
