Shards of God

About

Shards of God is a point-and-click adventure set on a sun-scorched alien world where a deity has been murdered. You play as two characters, Mother Tiabata and sister Ava, navigating deserts, ruins, and cryptic clues to uncover the truth. The game blends dialogue choices with inventory-based puzzles, all framed by a stark, hand-drawn art style that evokes classic point-and-clicks. Short but dense, it packs philosophical themes and moral dilemmas into its tightly written script. The murder of a god is no small task, and the game leans into its bizarre premise with relish. Developer Honza Vávra crafted this in just two months after a game jam prototype, yet the result feels polished and purposeful. Community feedback highlights its clever writing and atmospheric puzzles, with some calling it a standout indie mystery. At under five hours, it’s a brisk but memorable ride for fans of cerebral adventures.
