Shellshock's unique selling point is its focus on anomalies, with players raving about the atmospheric WWI experience. Post-launch, it boasts an impressive 90% positive reception.

What it's about: Vous êtes un soldat britannique de 14-18, piégé dans une tranchée infinie en boucle. Inspectez les lieux et signalez tout ce qui cloche. Réussirez-vous à vous échapper ? Shellshock est une courte chasse aux anomalies (~30 min) inspirée des espaces liminaux et de l’horreur psychologique.
