#Mortal shell lore series
Ī remastered version of the game titled Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S was released on March 4, 2021, and was made available for Amazon Luna in November 2021. Īn early prototype of the game, titled Dungeonhaven, was focused on procedural generation the developers moved away from this, feeling that it was antithetical to the Souls style of games, and instead opted for designing the game's areas by hand, wanting players to feel like they were going on an adventure, traversing a space that made sense as a setting. While some changes to the Souls formula were creatively driven, such as giving players only a limited amount of consumable health items to encourage use of the health-leeching mechanic, compared to Dark Souls ' Estus flasks, other changes came from the limitations of being a smaller developer: for example, they could not develop the same amount of armours, weapons and character builds, and instead developed four "shells" with different play styles and backstories. They were influenced by FromSoftware's 2011 game Dark Souls, similarly creating a setting with a dark atmosphere and populated with characters giving players cryptic information, and designing gameplay based around challenging melee combat, but still intended to change things up and create their own take on the concept. The developers created Mortal Shell as they thought there was a gap in the market for video games evoking deeper emotional experiences.
