Is it really worth the effort?īeing trapped inside this house represents depression and being isolated. It even has you rethinking simple tasks like making your bed in the morning. It is not easy to get out of this line of thinking, and this game shows how big of a struggle it is. Shut In really made me realise how easy it really is to convince yourself that you aren’t good enough or it isn’t worth your time to put in the effort to do something. Sometimes it’s pretty easy to convince yourself that you are too tired to do something and your time is better spent having a nap or watching TV. I realised that I do the same thing when I don’t get the things done that I was planning on doing. There seems to always be an excuse to why things aren’t getting done. a broken lamp and alarm clock that you’ve been meaning to fix and just haven’t gotten around to doing yet.
#SHUT IN RELEASE DATE FULL#
When you do decide to finally get up, you will find that the room is a huge mess full of dirty laundry. The game starts with you in your bed debating on if it’s worth getting out of bed. Shut In is full of puzzles like this that you just have to experience and explore to figure them out. So first you have to find the handle and reattach it before you pull out the screwdriver. Good luck doing that though because the door doesn’t have a handle so you can’t get out. Just like when you go into the bathroom and find a screwdriver jammed into the shower, it makes sense to pull it out, until you realise that if you do, swarms of vicious bugs come pouring out of the shower and will eat you unless you get out of the room fast enough. After that happened the first time I knew to avoid doing that. A lot of the game is trial and error I never would have guessed that turning on a lamp would kill me as it explodes in my face.
#SHUT IN RELEASE DATE HOW TO#
As you play you will learn which hazards to avoid and how to use the random items you find scattered around the house, most in odd places. My first run through took a little over two hours to complete. Shut In is not a long game by any stretch of the imagination. The house is full of puzzles and hazards that will gladly kill you, but if you do get taken out it's okay, you can just try again tomorrow. Sounds simple enough, but you soon discover that it’s not as easy as just opening the door and walking out. The game has one main goal, get out of the house. Developed by Cael O’Sullivan, Shut In is a crazy mix of a psychological horror game and a comedy with a smart-ass narrator.
