Beautiful. Bizarre. Barely Logical.
Vilnius, Lithuania, 24th September 2026 – We all seek inner peace, but what happens when you can actually step into your own mind? What might you discover? A world of tranquillity and understanding, or something much darker? Shil, the upcoming game from indie developer OSM Games, takes Meta Quest players on that very journey this October.
The mind is an unknown Pandora’s Box pulsating with possibilities, full of mystery and intrigue that even oneself cannot fully comprehend. And that’s where Shil’s path begins: into the mind of someone who doesn’t know the outcome, calmly led by an AI companion who just wants to help… to lead you down the correct path… the true path.
However, not all is as it should be. Memories are fragmented, hidden in plain sight. Where there should be one path, there are two. What’s down the path that shouldn’t be travelled?
Shil is a mind-bending puzzle game into the subconscious. With its visually striking two-tone design, Shil combines fantastical environmental puzzle design with horror elements and world-altering gameplay. Use the slingshot to unlock the world around you and fend off invisible enemies around every corner. Use the magnet gun to manipulate the environment and use alternate perspectives to reveal the unseen.
“Our goal from day one was to create a compelling, atmospheric puzzle game. One that blends eye-catching visual design with a rich narrative and audio that envelops players from start to finish,” said Giedrius Tamalaitus, CEO, OSM Games. “We hope that players feel we’ve achieved this, coming back again and again to unlock new pathways and discover the multiple endings we’ve hidden within.”
Shil Key Features:
- Worlds within Worlds – Discover a twisted, contorted labyrinthine world of dynamic colour and sound
- React and Interact – Utilise tools to solve puzzles, uncover the landscape and fight for survival
- Striking Visuals – Shil’s two-tone art style doesn’t simply create a mesmerisingly bold aesthetic; it’s key to hiding and solving the game’s many secrets

- Many Exits – Decide your fate and explore multiple endings
