Reconstruct reality from silhouettes in Shil, a minimalist perspective-shifting puzzle game launching in 2027!

Beautiful. Bizarre. Barely logical.

Not only does that describe the video games industry in 2026, but Shil, a silhouette-based puzzler set in the fever-dream-esque mind of the game’s protagonist. This hyper-stylised perspective-shifting adventure releases on PC next year, but you can talk about it right now!

As you can see, Shil immediately stands out with its two-tone visual design, challenging players to use silhouettes to reconstruct 3D spaces and overcome obstacles through intuitive perspective manipulation.

Here’s a quick summary of everything Shil has to offer:

  • Use perspective as a weapon to reveal hidden paths and neutralise hostile foes

  • Uncover a distorted world, piece by piece, and rebuild 3D spaces through clever use of silhouettes

  • Enjoy the striking aesthetic of a bold and minimalist two-colour style

  • A story that explores moral and logical choices with multiple endings to discover

  • Trust, or don’t trust, an AI companion whose motive remains hidden…
