Lithuanian developer OSM Games, in collaboration with Nuostab?s Žaidimai, has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest project: Shil. Described as a “reality-twisting first-person puzzle game,” the title invites players to explore an unfinished, fever-dream replica of the protagonist’s own psyche.

If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts were a work-in-progress, Shil is about to make that literal. Born from what the developers call a “prototype glitch gone right,” the game is set to bring a unique, silhouette-based perspective to PC and VR in 2027.

A World of Two Colours and Infinite Perspectives

Shil stands out immediately with its hyper-stylised, minimalist two-colour aesthetic. By stripping the world down to silhouettes, the game forces players to rely on intuition and spatial reasoning rather than traditional visual cues.

The core gameplay revolves around perspective-shifting. In this fragmented mind, reality is literally a matter of where you stand. You’ll navigate bizarre landscapes—ranging from shattered realms filled with invisible reptiles to surreal encounters with transparent whales broadcasting messages of goodwill.

Key Features include:

• Perspective as a Weapon: Shift your view to reveal hidden paths or neutralise hostile foes.
• Tactile Exploration: Use a unique “ball-throwing” mechanic to uncover the world piece by piece and rebuild 3D spaces.
• Bizarre Encounters: Face everything from human-sized pistols to invaders from space within the protagonist’s subconscious.

The AI Companion: Friend or Foe?

It wouldn’t be a psychological thriller without a bit of digital gaslighting. Players are accompanied by an AI companion that shaped the replica mind they are currently trapped in.

The AI speaks, guides, and—as the developers teased—occasionally lies. The narrative centres on a psychological tug-of-war where you must decide whether to trust your guide, resist its influence, or attempt to break the system entirely. With multiple endings on the table, your moral and logical choices will determine whether you find a “blissful escape” or succumb to “mutual destruction.”

“Shil pushes players to reconstruct 3D spaces using only their intuition… This game will make you smart. Not Oxford-smart, more like microdosing-in-Silicon-Valley-smart.” — OSM Games Press Release

Coming to PC and VR in 2027

Originally a prototype by Nuostab?s Žaidimai, Shil has been refined by the veterans at OSM Games to become a polished, mind-bending experience.

For those ready to question their own perception of reality, Shil is slated for a 2027 release on PC and VR platforms. You can already head over to the Steam page to add it to your wishlist and catch the reveal trailer.
