After 5 years of hard work, a Kickstart campaign, lots of ups and downs and a year of early access, the official 1.0 version of the game is finally ready.
We couldn't have done it without all of your feedback, so we wanted to thank you once again.
You made the game what it is today, and you definitely made us better devs, artists, writers and designers. From the bottom of our 5 little hearts: THANK YOU ♥
Please note that due to a little delay in our comms with Valve, the launch sale will be a bit late: so tune in in 20 minutes from now for a 15% off launch discount!
About the languages: the game is currently in French and English only. A post launch update will come as soon as we can with Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and German. Other languages are still in discussion (we have duly noted the interested of Turkish players) we'll let you know how it goes!
Last patch notes until full release
Hello there, dear Wanderers!
As you know, we’re now less than a month away from Shattered’s full release. But we didn’t want to let you hanging until then with a 3 months old version of the game, so… This update is a big one. Such a big one, that we won’t tell you precisely what we fixed and added, because there is SO much. We’ll just let you discover the reworked areas, new NPCs, etc. etc... ♥
What we’re going to do though, is telling you what is still missing and the bugs we already know and are still working on. Let’s have a look:
• You now have access to everything in the game, EXCEPT for the last zone. That means the full release will still have surprises for you : the said last zone, endings, last Boss… • The Quick Access Inventory will be improved & fixed • We’ll add and/or balance certain craft recipes • There’s a bit of polishing left on combat gameplay and a few enemies/Bosses • We’ll do some level art polishing (collision issues etc), and some UI/FX/visual rendering improvement. • For more fun, we let a few occasional crashes the possibility to happen. (No, we’re sorry about that and are investigating the matter as you’re reading this)
Due to the amount of changes we made, you really have to start a new game, otherwise your save will probably end up completely corrupted.
This will also be the last update until the full release.
We hope you’ll enjoy, and as always, don’t hesitate to let us know what you think, here or on social media ♥
We've been MIA for several months now. We weren't leisuring on Hypnos' secret sunny beaches, though, we were working towards the end of Shattered's development! It's hard to even begin to tell you how excited, proud and exhausted we are.
We're also so eager to show you this...

For those of you who already own the Early Access of the game, don't worry. All the bugs and weird stuff that still exist on the version you have have been fixed (again, many many thanks to all of you who shared their feedback with us ♥) and a lot of things have changed. Really changed. We'll make an update in the upcoming days for you to see it all that has happened!
We'll keep coming with more content and news until then.
Also, we'll post more often on our social media, so join us if you don't want to miss anything :)
We're happy to announce that we're participating in this autumn sale :D Shattered will be 20% off until december 1st!
To be honest, we wanted to launch an update right along, but it still needs a few days of polishing. Of course, we'll let you know as loud as possible when it's out!
Wouldn't want to spoil what's coming, but... Here you go. Yes, Wanderers, we've been working really hard on that area... Can you name it? We took all the feedback that we could into account to make it more fun, more beautiful, more enjoyable to explore. More info to come :)
Build 0.12 Hotfix!
Hey again dear Wanderers,
Thank you so much for your quick feedback and positive comments on the last update, we're so glad you liked it ♥ We've been able to make a little hotfix, since a few problematic bugs had shown up.
Here it is:
• Fix of the crashes that happened when fighting the Stranger and Gheb • Fix of display bugs in the binding menu • Fix of the freeze that happened when you used a Mark from the inventory • The casting bar of the Marks no longer stays on the screen afterwards • Loot still appears even if you hide the HUD • Fix of the link between Limbo and the door of Khotar • Legionaries now have a thrust attack with a wider dash, and gained a few adjustments on their AI • Damage reduction for the charged attacks, light and heavy • The door of Khotar can't be skipped anymore • We also made a few display corrections on certain maps.
As always, we're all ears for your feedback! If you'd like to report something, ask a question or chat with us, don't hesitate to join our official Discord server ♥ https://discord.gg/cGmC9Bt
See you soon, Wanderers!
Build 0.12: a new Demiurge and a new zone!

Back to school sale & what to expect from the next update
Hello there dear Wanderers! We hope you had a great summer and were able to take a break. We took a little one ourselves, and got back to bettering Shattered!
To try and make that "back to school" time a bit less annoying, we decided to put 20% off Shattered for the next 14 days while we finish up the next patch notes. As always, if you already own the game and would like to support us, please tell your friends about the discount and/or put a positive review here on Steam, that's an awesome and super efficient way to help ♥
Oh and, since you're here, wanna know what the upcoming patch notes will be about? Well, friends, here you go: • The next update will contain a brand new Demiurge to fight. We don't want to say too much about it, but it might be the very first one we ever worked on, that we've been reworking and reworking and reworking for the past few years... We cannot wait to know what you'll think of it! • The craft system will finally be here... • ... As well as the weapon upgrade system! • New distribution of the foes. • And probably a new Pretorian :)
We just fixed the Limbo wells! No more respawning problems and neverending mists.
You should probably restart your game, to make sure everything is ok now ♥
