Explore the Twisted Reality of Leavalley in FriendShapes

Delve into the surreal and unsettling world of Leavalley, a haunting landscape rendered in a unique blend of 2D and 3D art styles. You find yourself drawn to this place, your former hometown perhaps, with a purpose you can't quite grasp in this existential horror Lite-RPG.

Face Abstract Encounters in this Atmospheric Horror Game

FriendShapes offers a stylized 3D adventure where understanding is key. This isn't about jump scares; it's about the looming dread, the atmosphere, and the unsettling beauty of witnessing the end. Master the unique encounter system, where interaction and comprehension are more powerful than mindless violence. Try to understand abstract entities – their behaviours and motives in order to find a way out of the conflict.

Navigate Digressions: Randomized Roguelite Elements

Venture into the Digressions, ever-shifting labyrinths beyond reality. These rogue-lite elements offer randomized locations with surprising encounters and textual events. Keep your wits and Sanity about you, because stranger sights may test your resolve. Each run of the Digression is affected by your Luck, Wellbeing, Sanity, and Focus. Find Files to uncover lore and learn about the Shapes.

Unique Shapes, Unique Interactions

Every Shape is a unique entity, with diverse ways to interact and resolve conflicts. Instead of violence, the focus is on Observation, Gesture, Speech, and strategic use of Inventory items. Discover Context actions during encounters, rare actions that may become available as the encounter goes on and a opportunity presents itself.

Encounter the Denizens of Leavalley

In this surreal landscape you will encounter Trademark, Highfive, Mr. Dac, and Mícheart Jinsil. Save your progress by talking to a Scape.

Nearly 40 Shapes Await

Encounter almost 40 Shapes - potentially hostile beings that not only drain your Physical, Mental and/or Focus health ambiently, but may cause damage in various ways as well. Each Shape has their unique behavior, depositions and accompanying music. With no will for violence these Encounters are part puzzle, and part intuitive, part instinctive.

Some of the Shapes you can Encounter:

Blood Shadow:A spectre-like being, body of blood and powered by the neural pain signals of others, never having felt pain as we do, they have no way of relating to suffering.

Huh?Man:Something masquerading in a mascot-like Human Suit made of what you hope isn't stitched together skin, they are very adamant on you following them to their Huh?House...

The Collective: The sound of canned audience laughter follows them wherever they go. They enjoy nothing more than watching every moment of someone's memory over and over again until the preverbal tape of their memory is totally worn down to nothing as they watch every moment of their lives, all the while laughing.

Excogidiomycota: Seemingly fungal life-form that reacts to stimuli they can't quite sense by attempting to grow the necessary sensory organs.

Abandoned Mascot: What you can only assume is a person in a dog-eared mascot suit, though from to a casual observer, they seem to waver between "Mascot" mode and "Not Quite Self-Actualized Corpse" modes of behaviour.

Conceptual Parasite: Just try not to think about it too much

The Beckon:Mícheart Jinsil: Friendly, maybe even overly so, a strange person(?) that insists that the two of you are the best of friends, and seems to know what you've been up to in your wanderings... they always have something to say and tend to turn up when you least expect them.

Intuit and Survive: Non-Violent Encounters

Success lies in understanding and intuiting how to interact with the Shapes. Perform actions in the right order, based on the Shape's behavior. A wrong move can leave you in a worse state. Will you uncover the reason you returned to Leavalley?
