Shockwave: Land of the Blind started life as Sapper Simulator, but has since morphed into an intense, story-driven sim inspired by games such as Deus Ex, Thief, and Far Cry.

Set in a wartorn Aleppo, you play as a Sapper sent to save lives, whilst facing off against a deadly bomber. Think carefully, because one wrong move could spell your end.

Utilize equipment such as water charges, the Sapper robot, the hook-and-line technique, and more.

Most games and movies tend to boil down to "cut the blue wire" when it comes to disposal, but not Shockwave. We've worked closely with GROM, a Polish military unit, to make sure all techniques are accurate and true-to-life.

Shockwave: Land of the Blind is coming in 2023, but you can wishlist the game on Steam now!

I feel like downloading this game could get you put on a watch list.

What's the save system like? No manual saves, hopefully, to maintain suspense.

Always fun when real world war becomes the backdrop for a commercial game

Yeah how dare they make games, movies, plays, books, songs, paintings, crude stick figure drawings, etc. about war

We toyed with the idea of setting it in a fictional city, but we feel that a real-life location grounded the experience.

Will it teach me how to dispose of bombs in real life?

Yeah. Haven't you learned how to be a soldier from COD or bring a policeman from SWAT?

Awesome. I had a lot of fun with the bomb and mine disposal DLC for Arma 3, this is right up my alley.

This ain't gonna end up like Heavy Rain concluded, right? My heart can't handle another plot twist like that, man.

If this teaches the player how to dispose of bombs... Couldn't the reverse be true as well?

Meh, some of the real life documentaries about Ted Kaczynski go far further, that way, really.

Yeah. The same way call of duty teaches you to be a soldier
