About

Shear Abnormality is a brief but intense adventure game where players navigate a tense, eerie world filled with lurking threats. Your goal is to eliminate abnormalities by shearing them while avoiding or outrunning hostile entities. The game moves quickly, with a runtime of roughly 30 minutes, and checkpoints let you restart from key points if you get caught. Simple mechanics focus on survival instincts, spotting hidden items, managing limited tools, and reacting to sudden dangers. The environment feels oppressive, with sound and lighting used to build unease. What stands out is how it packs a full horror experience into a short runtime. The pacing never lags, and the mix of action and exploration keeps tension high. While not graphically complex, the game leans into psychological unease rather than jump scares, letting ambiguity and atmosphere do the work. Players familiar with horror games that prioritize mood over spectacle might find it refreshing. Its compact design means there’s no fat to cut, every moment feels purposeful.
