A moment in time for yourself, a magick circle, to freely explore your inner world. Walk around a desolate town in search of the 12 dioramas where you will be asked a question. <br><br>Answer truthfully, with the answer that best corresponds with how you are feeling. There is no right or wrong answer. Then you will be shown an ending and given a personalized reading based on your answers.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/24ecb4b37b7f22220c266bcaa15cd90f.poster.avif?t=1623764395" width=600 height=310 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/24ecb4b37b7f22220c266bcaa15cd90f.webm?t=1623764395" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/24ecb4b37b7f22220c266bcaa15cd90f.mp4?t=1623764395" type="video/mp4"></video></span><h2 class="bb_tag" >Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Five different endings : based on the answers the player has provided<br></li><li>Horror-Themed atmosphere : explore a miniature cardboard town inspired by the works of the Brothers Quay<br></li><li>Low risk gameplay : no enemies putting the player in danger, just a tense and heavy atmosphere<br></li><li>A personal space of introspection : This software is meant to be revisited from time to time, to help identify the changes within the player</li></ul><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/cc4318e5b4df48c207cf875178031caa.poster.avif?t=1623764395" width=600 height=310 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/cc4318e5b4df48c207cf875178031caa.webm?t=1623764395" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1633830/extras/cc4318e5b4df48c207cf875178031caa.mp4?t=1623764395" type="video/mp4"></video></span><h2 class="bb_tag" >What's new in the Steam Edition</h2>Similar to a director's cut, this version of <i>The Shape On The Ground</i> contains new material never seen in earlier versions.<br><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Two entirely new dioramas, adding more symbolism and mystery to the environment<br></li><li>Two new small areas to explore, where the new dioramas are located : the park and the sewer system<br></li><li>Quality Of Life improvements such as clearer tutorials and removal of some confusing meta-narrative elements</li></ul>
