A game made for the Metroidvania Month Jam 30. Theme: MINIMALIST.

About Shrew!

You wake up in front of a giant stone gate at the foot of a mountain. You don't know how you got here, but you feel a mysterious pull from its foggy peaks. Will you answer the call?

Shrew! is a 3D platformer set in a vast, interconnected world that keeps taking away from you. You control a little shrew climber, looking to find a path to the top of an ominous mountain range.

As you explore the three main areas of the game (an old canyon, an unforgiving glacier and a disheveled factory), you'll gradually lose parts of yourself to help awaken the world around you. If you keep going, eventually you may gain access to the mountain.

On the other hand, there's a lot of shinies just lying around...

Shrew! was developed by a small team for the Metroidvania Month 30 game jam. In line with the theme, it was inspired by some minimalist lifestyle concepts, by which people strip themselves of the unnecessary to live with the essential. The low-poly style and shader fog were also inspired by the theme.
