Project: Wasting

Welcome to No-Where, Oklahoma, 1998 – a forgotten town in the heart of Central South Oklahoma, where the rolling Tallgrass Prairies meet the gnarled woodlands of the Cross Timbers. The quiet life you sought here has become a chilling illusion, for a creeping Psychological Plague is devouring minds from within. Your own sanity is failing, warping reality with terrifying 'Plague Manifestations' that blur the line between what's real and what's merely perceived. As you delve into mind-bending Cognitive Dungeons and confront the true nature of fear, every choice carries a heavy consequence, and your only hope may lie in the fragile bonds you forge with the eccentric residents of this isolated community. Can you uncover the truth before your mind becomes a part of the madness?

Our Story

Shining Shores Studios began with a simple idea: that games should move people.We’re a small, tight-knit group of developers, artists, and dreamers brought together not by industry pedigree or big budgets — but by a shared love for storytelling, worldbuilding, and the power of interactive experiences. What started as a side project became a calling: to make games that don’t just entertain, but resonate.We believe that games are one of the most powerful storytelling mediums on Earth — capable of challenging perspectives, building empathy, and inspiring lasting change. Our goal isn’t to chase trends or maximize monetization. We’re here to create something meaningful: worlds players can get lost in, choices that carry weight, and stories that stay with you.At Shining Shores, we value community, creativity, and authenticity. We’re committed to building our studio in a way that reflects those values — with transparency, kindness, and a long-term goal of giving back through initiatives like sustainable tech reuse and supporting access to gaming for those who need it most.We may be small, but we’re building something big — and we’re just getting started.
