Entities
Dead Jester
Ambient entity that gives the Shrimp Anxiety. In the dark the Jester’s face will glow causing the Shrimp to go under an anxiety attack. You meet Dead Jester on Level 4.
Porcelain Ghost
A dangerous entity that loves giving anxiety to the Shrimp by messing with it’s stereo and even placing an entity named Invalid Parser over the stereo to play its own music over it (Invalid Parser will not be placed on Endurance difficulty). The Ghost will only become a physical form if you do not stay still and stop the music when it calls. First encounter is on Level 7.
False Car
A car distorted into life. False Car is the most aggressive entity in the game delivering a good scare to the Shrimp. First encounter is level 13.
Invalid Parser
Porcelain Ghost uses Invalid Parser to play its own music over the Shrimp’s stereo to hinder it from progressing. Taking away Invalid Parser from the stereo can be tricky. Can only be met playing on Purgatory or higher on levels that include the Porcelain Ghost.

How long have you spent making S H R i M P?
Development for S H R i M P began on April 21st so about a little more than 2 months which is crazy how much has been accomplished in a short amount of time.
Is S H R i M P a horror game?
Yes. No doubt of it either. This is a horror game at its heart. Some levels are intense. Most are chill, but still feel unwelcoming.
How hard is the game?
There are difficulty options. But there is no easy mode. There is Endurance, Purgatory, and Sinner. You need to beat the game on either Endurance or Purgatory to unlock Sinner which is an unforgiving difficulty and is considered cannon. Beating it will give you a legendary ending and give you an epic hat and skin for the Shrimp.
