TheShapeThatWaits

Made by Glowtox Games

Staff note: This rogue-like will feel uniquely different each replay with the variety of weapons and items you can find, and a changing map. It'll be hard to set down your Playdate with wanting to do just one more run.

In The Shape That Waits, you are the last survivor aboard a ship twisted by an alien presence. Every move you make burns oxygen, erodes sanity, and brings you closer to the horrors stalking the halls. Scavenge for oxygen, weapons, and gear as you crawl through its dying decks. This is a turn-based roguelike of claustrophobic survival, where the Shape is always watching and always learning you.
