In "EMPTY SHELL," players find themselves in a mysterious and eerie industrial environment, a secluded facility on a remote Japanese island. Volunteers, unaware of the details of their "recovery operation" due to a limited contract, soon realize that the supposedly abandoned facility holds dark secrets.

Despite the facility's purported abandonment for decades, an unsettling atmosphere becomes immediately apparent upon arrival. As the player progresses, they uncover the facility's history, delving into the years of its operation and the catastrophic accident that led to the dire consequences they are now entangled in.

The game employs a roguelite survival horror format, where each death results in the player controlling a new volunteer. Starting equipment is randomized, and each level features a newly generated layout. The environment is characterized by dark corridors, cold rooms, abominable creatures, and intense battles. Players must navigate through puzzles while collecting essential items such as weapons, ammo, gadgets, logs, and documents to enhance their chances of survival.

The top-down perspective intensifies the feeling of being surrounded by darkness, adding to the suspense. The facility is populated by various types of enemies, presenting a constant threat in each room. Strategic inventory management becomes crucial as players scavenge for vital resources.

The game offers a dynamic experience with randomly generated maps for every level or respawn, enhancing replayability. Players can also buy upgrades and devices to aid them in combat, adding an element of progression. The narrative unfolds through the discovery of logs and documents from the 1950s, providing insights into the lives and stories of the individuals who once worked within the enigmatic facility. "EMPTY SHELL" promises a challenging and immersive journey through its atmospheric and treacherous world.
