Shape Village
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to a surreal point and click adventure in Shape Village!
The Game:
Shape Village is a remote community of cute characters composed of basic geometry. Beyond the veil of cuteness is, however, a dysfunctional social structure of bullying, loan-sharking, crime and oligarchy. Can it be changed for the better? Or are there even more sinister evils at work behind the scenes of reality itself?
You enter the scene as Coney, a romantic and sensitive idler, whose daily sojourn is interrupted by a seemingly harmless error. This leads Coney to mix in events that are either disastrous or constructive to the future of the village.
You, as a player, will make choices that will dictate the path of Coney and Shape Village. That path will lead to one of four different endings in the game!
Will you forge abstract art for the powers that be? Will you side with an oppressed worker against creditors? Will you escape the law or surrender? How will you answer the question: 'Fuss the harbor rave itself'? Could society be improved, perhaps, through a drink? Such choices and more.
Controls:
LMB Walk/Interact
RMB Look/Talk

Edit: Made a slight bug fix; it is now impossible to get infinite sheet music.
Edit 28.12.21: Bug fixes and improvement. Hotspot names are now displayed and vodka shouldn't be a problem.

I found endings 1, 3, and 4, and hints for ending 2? I’m stuck where heltenjon was on the AGS forums.
Ending 2 progress
I can get the sheet music and give it to Robo, but I haven't found a way for that to change anything. I can try running from the cop, and hide next to my house instead of next to the bar, but that doesn't seem to change anything either. I can't get the cop to go inside the school, I get arrested outside instead. And I can't get anything to fall from the tree onto the cop, the sheet music only appears in the other tree that can't be reached during the chase.I haven’t found a way to run from the shape monster, or to get the screen to react to anything other than the small square, or to sleep on the bench instead of Coney’s bed, or to do something like find another instrument to jam with Robo.
If you've given Robo the sheet music you'll just have to escape the shape monster for long enough in the final encounter.
Got it, thanks!
Ending 2 details
I had to run all the way towards the bar and then turn around and dodge the monster a second time, I hadn't thought to try that after the doors, hiding places, and exits didn't work.Great game! If not for the dream sequence intro and the game description then I might have stopped at ending 1, I’m glad I kept going for all of them.
Thanks for playing! I was very much obsessed by multiple endings at the time :D
I hit a couple instances of the same bug while playing this: Coney would stop responding to walk clicks (but game not frozen). Happened once after leaving the 'salad' bar, and again after clicking on the gate in the park. Reload didn't work, restarting and not doing that seems to :p
Yeah this bug happened to me during production too. I never found a way to fix it. I provided a "Walk" -button on the upper menu in case that happens. Did you try to click it?
Ooh, now I see the 'walk' button!
The game and art are beautiful, thanks :)
Nice! Thank you!
Wou mäyn what an awesome game! 👌
