About
SHIATH (Something horrible is about to happen) is a short (less than an hour long) horror game about the end of humankind and self-made doom.
Clay pigeon shooting. To survive, you'll need to take as much as you can from the sea below. Remember that not everything that surfaces is what it seems to be.
The brink. A surreal vision of a dying world. Enjoy your stay on the last patch of land that exist. It won't be long before it's gone.
The dog. Your only companion in this journey. Hopefully, you'll take good care of him.
A cast of miserable and spiteful characters. Meet others like you, and others who’ve been made the way they are because of people like you.
No happy ending. This story does not have a happy ending. Try all you want. Something horrible is about to happen.

Apocalypse horror done right, with a healthy mix of cosmic horror. Entertaining and unique, SHIATH brings creativity and terror to the gaming world boldly.
A neat little horror game with some fascinating philosophical themes and a short run time and gameplay loop which don't overstay their welcome. The game lasts about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on you and once you've beaten the game once that is about all there is. There's some theory-crafting and reading-between-the-lines on the minimal dialogue that there is and the story overall is pretty up to interpretation, which is cool. For what I think is the dev's first game, this isn't a bad go at it. I think with more time and a larger budget this dev could come up with some interesting stuff. 6/10. It isn't super impressive overall, but there is something here for certain. I always love seeing new indie devs out there with interesting ideas.
This game was a nice refresher from all of the AAA games that companies spit out now a-days. SHIATH was such a blast to play through, I bought it in a bundle with "Loan Shark", but I personally liked SHIATH more. The game as a whole felt pretty polished, minus the shooting, but its the end of the world c'mon now. The graphics and overall design had me and a couple of friends very impressed, the characters as well were also enjoyable. The pig characters were very interesting and were pleasant to voice! (I would LOVE to voice some characters if possible they're so much fun to voice.) Overall a 10/10 game, one of the BEST niche horror game I've come across on Steam. Keep up the good work and good luck on your new project!
Short, but unhumanly effective. Scared the everloving **** outta me, twice
"The world began without humanity and will end without it." A neat little horror game. I'll see you on the next one dev.
the story is great but i think the ending is a bit rushed but would recommend.
Interesting, linear game. There are different endings, for what little choice you can make. A good abstract kind of horror game.
