About EMPTY SHELL: PROLOGUE
✦ AI summary
Uncover the horrific secrets of an abandoned Japanese research facility by controlling successive volunteers through procedurally-generated corridors filled with abominable creatures and environmental puzzles. This top-down roguelite survival horror constantly reshuffles its layout and enemies with each death, forcing you to scavenge weapons, manage limited inventory, and piece together logs from the 1950s to reveal what catastrophe occurred.
EMPTY SHELL: PROLOGUE will throw you in a dark industrial environment, a secret facility on a japanese island in the middle of nowhere. Each volunteer has signed a contract for a "recovery operation" without being privy to too many details.
They said the facility had been abandoned for decades, but once in place it was immediately apparent that something was wrong.
Discover the dark secrets of the facility's years of operation, up until the accident that led to the extreme consequences you are involved in.
Every time you die, you will control a new volunteer sent to the place. Your starting equipment will be randomized and each level will be generated with a new layout.
Dark corridors and cold rooms. Abominable creatures and bloody fights. Puzzles to solve, equipment, logs and documents to recover await you in this roguelite survival horror.

I played this after getting the Full Game. It is great. Looking at the discussion board I noticed that the Developer was active there when plyers shared ideas and criticism of the game. So this Prologue was like a Beta test of sorts. I really like this and would gladly recommend it.1 found this helpful
Good game 😊, interesting story there 👍. Like the randomization in the map when you start new game, but when one character die and new one replace it, keeping on the progress of the last "volunteer" it doesn't make sense to me. My review (as fan of this game) is included in the latest video ;). https://youtu.be/ELMfMDwsprM https://youtu.be/dfJXtQ_wqL4

ABSOLUTE INDIE GOLD
to those whom have eye issues, don't play this game like me. although the gameplay is simple, and good overall it's not worth for your eyes.
