About

Shamus is an arcade shooter where you navigate a maze of 120+ interconnected rooms hunting down a specific enemy. You control an armed character who explores room by room, shooting hostile creatures and dodging traps while searching for your target. The layout functions like a large grid—each room connects to others via doorways, and you'll need to mentally map the structure as you progress. Combat requires quick aim and movement since enemies respawn and patrol unpredictably. Success depends on learning enemy patterns, conserving resources, and remembering which rooms you've cleared. The game doesn't hold your hand with maps or markers, so spatial memory matters. It's straightforward arcade action with a light exploration layer—shoot, survive, find the boss.
