SHAHARAZON

"SHAHARAZON" is an aberration that forgoes game play tropes we've become so used to. It's a first person shooter but you don't have a gun, a stamina system where you track your heart rate, and you can rip your own heart out to reset a level. It is a mechanically aberrant game.

Lore: From the year 2424 to you. The operating system of the future has arrived! That being, the "DARKFUTURE OS" which runs the "SHAHARAZON" simulation, a program used to train the cyborg soldiers of the future as long as war remains profitable. Take a glimpse into the very heights of the future of warfare, with high-octane, heart-pumping gameplay that'll have you hanging on the edge of your seat when you explode 3 enemies with one well-timed grenade.

"DARKFUTURE OS" is so advanced it'll even save your progress only if you hit the shut down button on the desktop... but no other times. Use the pause menu console to see a list of helpful tips, settings, and to check the controls if need be, there's all sorts of useful information there!

In 2424, private military companies rule tiny territories, all employing cyborg soldiers not indifferent to the models simulated in SHAHARAZON. You must prepare to face them.

There are secrets hidden all across SHAHARAZON, unlocking all for one level grants you access to a file in the DARKFUTURE OS to learn more about how the world got this way.
