    Semblance is an innovative puzzle platformer where nearly everything, including your soft, bouncy character and the environment around you, is entirely deformable! Squish, squash, mold and deform in imaginative ways to solve problems, grab hard-to-reach collectibles and heal the land from an infestation of hard material. Semblance lets you move between challenges at your pace, with an engaging story that unravels organically as you explore.

    Throughout development, Semblance won multiple special honors at gaming shows for its unique design and aesthetic. The game bubbles with beautiful colors, minimalist artwork, charming critters and a soothing atmosphere.

    Semblance is rated PEGI 3. For more information, visit http://semblance-game.com, and follow @GoodShepherdEnt and @Nyamakop on Twitter.

    About Good Shepherd Entertainment

    Good Shepherd Entertainment publishes video games from independent artists worldwide and operates a proprietary investment platform for a growing global network of qualified investors seeking risk-mitigated participation in the $130B video game industry. Originally established in the Netherlands in 2011 as an equity crowdfunding platform under the name Gambitious BV, the Company became a publisher in 2014 with the release of Train Fever, which was the first game ever successfully published with equity crowdfunding. The Company has since funded and released over a dozen original games across eight digital platforms. The founders of Devolver Digital and Croteam, two very successful companies in independent game development and publishing, invested in the Company and joined its management in 2012. The Company rebranded in 2017 as Good Shepherd Entertainment following an investment by Advance/Newhouse, having established a track record of success with both independent developers and investors. www.GoodShepherd.games
