Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King takes place in a strange and shattered world, ruled by Elder Gods. Follow the Wanderer on his journey to discover memories of his past, with The Whisperer - a mysterious and cynical creature - guiding him on his quest. Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King will take you on a journey of choices and hidden stories, with all your decisions determining your path.

The challenge for the player is to explore the whole, wide-ranging level, and then to solve it as a large-scale puzzle.  Each zone is made of One major puzzle that the player has to solve to progress through the adventure, three minor puzzles that will give you access to secret zones or different scenaristic nodes. In this part, you must survive lethal traps, solve many enigmas and find your way through labyrinthic levels.

Through the game, the player will face 12 bosses, the Demiurges, and legions of fallens: dead creatures and citizens of the realm are now their servant and minions. There are different behaviour patterns for each one of them.

The fighting system is as pure as possible, relying on: player's dexterity, reflexes and sense of timing (Light and heavy attacks, dodging, feinting and dashing are at the very heart of the gameplay and lead to special attack chains), and skills acquired and used during the platforming phases.

Unlock different passive or active skills depending on how you want to play the game. Some hidden skill trees will give different skill sets, depending on the battles you fight and levels you complete.

Every killed monster will drop Limbo Essences, which are the in-game currency. You can use them to heal yourself or throw them in the alchemical crucible. The crucible allows you to create several consumables, plus items to merge with your equipment in order to change your stats according to your preference. You can also improve your alchemy skills by collecting cardinal slivers.

Every single Eibon's fragment is a letter of the alphabet. The more you have, the more you'll be able to translate the Demiurges' strange language. The player will need to understand and handle properly those elements to discover the most complete ending.

Key Features:

• A new world to discover: Explore a gorgeously rendered semi-open world with branching paths and mysterious secrets.
• Monstrous enemies to defeat: Observe your foes, anticipate their moves and use their own attacks against them. Switch between close-combat sword fights and long distance spell slinging, and experience seamless transitions between full 3D and 2.5D battles.
• A story all your own: Not all survivors of Hypnos are trustworthy, and there are those who seek to use you for their own ends. The world will remember the choices you make during your adventure, and only those with focus and dedication will see through to the truth beyond.
• Constant progression: Whether through combat or exploration, the Wanderer will evolve. How, is up to you. The choice is yours but choose carefully: not every path can be taken.

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King is coming to PC (Steam) on Feb. 19, 2021, with PS4 and Xbox One versions being considered.
