EMPTY SHELL 2 Demo

About this game

Return to the abandoned Facility in this demo: explore the initial areas of the south wing and catch a glimpse of the madness volunteers will have to descend into once again. Complete the first tasks, gather equipment and lore documents, and start uncovering what really happened on the island. This is just a taste of the full experience to come. Saved progress will carry over to the full game.

A new expedition has been organized. Desperate volunteers have been sent to an unknown island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and gathered in an old building on the coast, awaiting deployment to carry out their mission.

From a top-down perspective captured by a drone camera, each volunteer must explore a massive abandoned structure, complete tasks assigned by a mysterious organization, and recover resources and equipment to bring back to the shelter—improving their own chances of survival, and those of the ones who follow.

When one volunteer dies, another is sent—doomed to continue the mission from where the last one perished.

Explore abandoned complexes, derelict power plants, dimly lit narrow corridors, and hundreds of rooms in this unsettling retrofuturistic experience infested with terrifying creatures.

  • Explore countless zones of the Structure and the island, recover resources and gear, and bring them back to your shelter

  • High replayability and dynamically generated levels—no expedition will ever be the same

  • Customize your loadout with a wide array of firearms, melee weapons, gadgets, and more to survive the horrors within

  • A meta-progression system ensures every death brings something new, allowing steady progress run after run

  • Upgrade your volunteers’ abilities using Upgrade Stations

  • Uncover the dark lore behind the Structure and the post–World War II experiments that led to the project's catastrophic consequences

  • Find old blueprints to modify weapons or craft new ones at the Crafting Stations

  • Complete main and side quests to earn extra rewards and uncover disturbing new story details

  • Solve environmental puzzles, retrieve access codes from vintage terminals, and discover personal diaries and research notes

  • Play in the original black-and-white visual mode for an extra layer of dread
