Broken Shell is the cutest looking love story adventure of two little hermit crabs

You ever look at a game and just think - "wow, this looks truly lovely"? That's the feeling I got from seeing Broken Shell and I can't wait to see it release. It's an in-development cozy casual adventure game from Foggy Studio, with some artwork and themes that really do just look wonderful.

About it: "Broken Shell is a cute and cozy adventure game follows the love story of two little hermit crabs searching for a new home. Despite human interference in their habitat, they face challenges leading to their separation. Embark on adventures, meet new friends, and assist diverse characters, all through solving puzzles and mini-games, a combination of humorous narrative events within a heartfelt romantic drama without a single word."
