SHRINE
A downloadable game for Windows

SHRINE is a first-person arena survival game inspired by Devil Daggers and 神道

You are Shizu, a miko, the last guardian of Togakushi, the shrine at the hidden door. The shimenawa rope that sealed the breach between worlds has been cut. The kami is wounded. You channel its dying energy through sacred ofuda and try to stay standing.

 Controls:

  • WASD — move

  • Mouse — aim

  • LMB — primary fire (ofuda stream)

  • RMB — secondary fire (ofuda spread)

  • Space — jump / autohop

  • Shift — aerial dash

  • Q — invoked dump (tier 3+)

  Features:

  • 12 enemy types with distinct yokai-inspired behaviors

  • 4 weapon tiers invoked by collecting magatama gems

  • Time-based scoring (personal best saved locally)


BUGFIXES 02/05/2026

Fixed a bunch of performance issues, please let me know if you still encounter any slow downs!

I also fixed a bug where the ESC menu wasn't opening when you pressed ESC and therefore couldnt adjust any settings.

Audio is now also default 85% not 100%.
