New Screenshots

Critical Shift · published 2 Aug 2025, 16:11 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone! We’re excited to share some new screenshots from across our levels!


In this scene, you’re getting a first look at one of the game’s most intriguing - and still under wraps - features: the bosses. Each boss is unique, with its own strengths, weaknesses, and occasionally very specific battle mechanics. We can’t reveal much yet about this creature, but check out how its massive tentacle greets our approaching agents!

Below, you’ll find more screenshots. First, a quick update: it’s a scorching summer out there, but rest assured, our brains haven’t melted - we’re hard at work on Critical Shift, step by step. The game is large and complex, and several systems still need fine‑tuning and testing before we can share them in closed beta. Thanks so much for your patience and support!

Stay tuned - and don’t forget to join our Discord and follow us on social media. There’s a lot more coming on gameplay mechanics, story, and the world!


The pair of oversized hands you see hides a secret as big as the owner behind them.

These EXO HIVE species seem to be guarding the altar in the background. Why is it so important?


Stillness in the cave garden, following a grueling fight.


Some battles happen in peculiar places; this museum is one, steeped in the mysterious history of our civilization.


And of course it’s Antarctica - deep beneath its icy surface, truly strange things could be hidden.
