About BRAINSHELL
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to become an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile?
A psychological horror experience focusing on immersion, storytelling and audiovisual torment.
Stuck inside a nuclear missile, you are become one with the machine. A being born from flesh and steel, you live to serve one purpose: to fly towards death.
Press heavy buttons and adjust squeaky levers with satisfying sounds and motions. Read dialogue dwelling in the psyche of a broken man.
It's the year 1963 in a world that replaced computers with human brains. The nuclear arms race has led to a point of no return. Your government uses propaganda, brainwashing and body modifications to create the ultimate weapon: a conscious nuclear missile.
Original tracks carry the cry of a tormented saxophone and evoke a new type of horror. A custom microphone was made to capture the voice of a being born from madness.
