About Shieven

Shieven is a suspenseful exploration game that puts you in the shoes of an investigator whose financial situation is on the verge of collapse. In a desperate attempt to solve his problems, he takes on a case at the mysterious Luminora Hospital, a place shrouded in dark and chilling rumors.

According to the stories, those who ventured beyond the hospital's surface levels have never been seen again.

Dive into the depths of Luminora Hospital and uncover what happened there in the past...
Discover chilling secrets that were never meant to see the light...
Escape from terrifying creatures or monsters lurking below...
Pay attention to everything...

The Security Flashlight is a versatile tool designed to help you face any danger and explore new paths. You'll find it during your journey through the depths of the hospital. With its powerful light and sound, it becomes an indispensable ally to keep you safe and push forward in the darkest moments.

Use it wisely...

We are an indie studio at the beginning of our creative journey, focused on learning and improving continuously. Our plan includes releasing more chapters of Shieven and exploring new ideas, whether by staying within the same style or venturing into completely different genres. Additionally, we are open to collaborations to keep growing and deliver unique experiences to our community.

I took one look at this game and knew it was a bit of me. Finally a game that doesn't solely rely on jump scares. Building tension and atmosphere in an environment that doesn't hand-hold you all the way. Puzzles are challenging and, although frustrating at times, make you feel great when you finish them! I can't wait to play more of this, and I've already paid in to the kickstarter for Shieven 2, as this is the type of game we SHOULD be backing, not the recent AAA rubbish that's out there for over six times the price! Well worth the price for anyone that enjoys a truly immsersive horror game.

It's an all right little horror puzzle game. Performance is a bit lacking though.

Shieven succeeds in SO many ways! This is the dev's first game which I find SO impressive! The atmosphere (especially around THOSE experiments), the creature design, the puzzles, and how the game looks are all wins. There is plenty of lore to pick up to discover the story as the game unfolds. The puzzles are challenging and rewarding and the jump scares were nicely placed and fun as well. However, where the game TRULY shines is in the chase sequences. There is JUST enough time to escape the danger you are in, and it creates such an amazing and terrifying sense of urgency and horror. I do want to note that there is an epileptic mode, which is amazing! We love dev’s who include accessibility settings! There was one puzzle that made me think harder than I am usually capable of, and I somehow brute forced it instead solving it. There was an area at the end of the game where the main character was consistently clipping through wall- but neither of these things were overwhelmingly distracting or insurmountable. Even if this was not the dev's first game, I would give it a positive review. I beat the game in roughly 2.5 hours, which is great as person who creates Indie Horror conte…

Played and completed the first chapter, and it was definitely alot of fun! I liked the mascot horror feel without the mascot. The puzzles were a good balance of fun and challenging, and the environment was eery and definitely had a creepy vibe. The music added to the ambiance and I look forward to the next chapter when it comes out!
