The SHARDS Demo is out now — play it free!

The SHARDS Demo is out now — free.
You can finally play SHARDS. Grab the demo from this page, bring a friend, and see if you can describe the indescribable.
What's in the demo
The free demo includes the first 3 sectors plus Free Play (Lv1–2). The full game adds all 20 sectors, every difficulty, extra modes (Stage Mode and the "Descent" roguelite), online co-op for up to 4 with extra roles (Suppressor, Decoder), and more.
How it plays
SHARDS is a no-language, asymmetric co-op horror puzzle for 2 players (best as a duo). You never see each other's screen — only your voices connect you. Describe nameless symbols and solve the puzzles before the caged core collapses. Miscommunication is fatal. Voice chat recommended — grab a friend.
Like it? Wishlist!
If you enjoy the demo, add SHARDS to your wishlist — it's the single biggest way to help us, and you'll be notified the moment the full game launches.
