About this game
As the world's first half-human hybrid, you know that you're not something that's supposed to exist.
Yet, here you are.
An outcast in a world that's not your own.
Stuck in a feud between yourself and your encroaching distorted view of the world.
To you, things have always been black and white.
You've accepted your worth on this planet.
You've accepted that you have always been nothing more than some science project.
However, one day, in a spur-of-the-moment impulse...
...your entire life will change.
Features
Turn-based combat with quick-time based mechanics
An original atmospheric soundtrack by Gemini with help from CT Zeal, TrashMarine, and BrandonisADork
Gameplay reminiscent of the RPG Maker Classics of old
An exploration of what it means to be human

Prototype 2 Is Coming Soon!
Hello gamers!Things have been a little quiet here as of recent! I just wanted to put out something real quick to say that a second demo is being worked on for Project: Shiba!It will reflect the current vision for the game quite a bit more than the current prototype which exists on Steam.You can still play the old prototype, of course, just know that it doesn't exactly line up with the current direction I'm taking the game. It's essentially non-canon.Please forgive me, as 2025 has not been a kind year for me. Between increased production on this game and my other large-scale project, Jack Fourever After, as well as having to drop out of college due to my own declining mental health, as well as a brief visit to a mental hospital, to recent harassment on social media, and financial issues... It's been a rough year for me. Just know that I haven't lost the vision for Project: Shiba, and that I am dedicated to releasing this game in the future one way or another. This story means the world to me.Thank you!-GeminiRead full article on Community Announcements (Gemini)AnnouncementsOfficial

Look, I'm on Steam!
Well, this is kind of a big deal, yeah? I finally have a Steam page for this game! As a kid, I never even thought I'd be doing this, making a game that'll get released and share a platform with some of the biggest games of all time, to a userbase of hundreds of millions. This is how I'll primarily be sharing big news about the game, as well as any other announcements that I see relevant. First thing's first, I'll be participating in Steam's Next Fest in October! I'll be sure to have some sort of demo ready for the event. How much content it'll have is still up in the air, it just depends on how much content has been made. I'm hoping to at least have around 30 minutes to 1 hour of playable content for the demo. Second thing's second, that was my only announcement. Wow! Also, just a big thanks to everyone who's been wishlisting the game. Your support is very appreciated! - GemRead full article on Community Announcements (Gemini)
