What is SHARDLOCKED?

SHARDLOCKED is a retro-style horror escape game where you're trapped in a procedurally generated dungeon, hunted by a reactive monster, and forced to destroy glowing magical crystals to escape.

And no, this isn't just another Lethal Company clone :0

Dev Story (aka: How the heck did this happen?)

This all started unexpectedly. I was messing around in Python, building a procedural dungeon generator just for fun. After weeks of tweaking and perfecting it, I realized:

“Hey… this could be a real game.”

So I started porting the generation into GDScript for Godot. That meant learning GridMaps for the first time (which are notoriously annoying). But I pushed through it, and once that piece clicked, it was like Niagra Falls - the rest started flowing fast: UI, gameplay loops, lore ideas, textures, music, customizable settings, the monster..
All new territory for me as a beginner dev, but for some reason, it felt right. Even with all the trial and error, I loved every minute.

And now, for the first time ever… I’m releasing a real game into the world. My first published game!

I really hope SHARDLOCKED is fun for whoever tries it out.
Feel free to leave feedback, scream a little, or even toss a donation to a hardworking dev if you’re feeling generous 🥲

Thanks for being part of this journey.
