About Shards of Her

Shards of Her is a 3DCG animated Ren'Py adventure from Soul Persona. You play Michael, a demi-god who lost his beloved centuries ago and was later cast out of a fading sanctuary by the goddess Hemera. His search for answers pulls him into a coming war between humans and remaining gods, while tales of a sorceress who can manipulate time and bend gods suggest her disappearance may be connected. The game uses fantasy, adventure, and monster girl themes.

The current build is version 0.4.6, released June 25, 2024, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, with English as the listed language and no censorship. The latest changelog adds Act IV story content, a new options menu, a new memory, and interface language support for Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Romanian, and Simplified Chinese. It also includes cinematic mode, black and white filter, compact menu, remade in-game choice UI with skip, and fixes for Act III script, flags, visuals, and story inconsistencies.

Developer's description

Hundreds of years ago, Michael, a demi-god with a heart full of love, experienced the profound loss of his beloved. She disappeared, leaving no trace behind. Whether she perished or merely vanished remains a mystery. Despite his tireless search, she remained elusive. Eventually, he resigned himself to her absence, though he held her dear in his heart. Spoiler But Michael's world was turned upside down when Hemera, a once-beautiful goddess with unmatched beauty, cast him out of their sanctuary with a whisper. It was a place where light once thrived but grew dim when she vanished. Hemera's actions stirred something within him, reigniting his quest for answers about her fate... As he embarks on a new quest for truth, he finds himself caught in the middle of an upcoming war against humans and the remaining gods. Stories tell of a sorceress with the power to manipulate time and bend the gods to her will. The answer to her disappearance might be somewhere in between...

Writer, just stick to poetry. The only person you are impressing is yourself methinks. The dialogue is trying way to hard and is a chore to read, the constant cutting to black screens for even more flowery nonsense is irritating…

Appalling depictions of women, so unnaturally skinny they'd be dead already. At one point a "womans" thigh is shown next to the MC's dick, they appear the same size. It's just weird fetishising of serious illness which really just ain't…

Would you like a story written in prose poetry? You do? Well this game is made for you. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the writing style. The only thing I got from the story is that the author must…
