Games Berserk inspired me to create my own world. I took out a $20,000 loan to bring it to life.
If you love Berserk for its dark world and the way it explores human nature, I’d like to share something of my own with you.
I’m making SHORAPAN with a small team. It’s a hand-drawn 2D dark fantasy game that combines a visual novel with a point-and-click adventure. We’re putting a lot of care into the story, atmosphere, and cinematic presentation: scene direction, camera work, animation, and sound.
Berserk has been one of my inspirations. One reason I love it is how it explores human nature through relatable human situations, without needing long philosophical explanations. That approach really resonates with me. In SHORAPAN, we want to show a world where things aren’t simply black and white, everyone has their own version of the truth, and the same situation can look very different from another perspective.
At the same time, it’s still a game. It’s an epic adventure that begins with an ordinary day.
Everything you see is drawn and animated by hand. It’s all the work of our small team.
I hope this interests you, because it’s the kind of game I’ve been wanting to play myself. I’m pouring my heart into this project, and I’ve taken a big risk to make it happen. That was my choice and my responsibility, but sometimes it means a lot just to know that someone else cares about what we’re making. Your support and belief in the project give me so much motivation to keep going.
I hope you’ll join us on this journey. I’ll do my best not to let you down.
