Going through the darkness, seeing the light is always hard, especially if the shadow makes you feel comfortable. Play Shattered to walk through Lucas' life, from the bright, sunny days of his youth to the stormy nights of his adulthood. Shattered’s art style is deliberately simple yet profound. Original hand-drawn graphics evoke a sense of both isolation and possibility. The world shifts between Lucas’ white routine and the deep blackness of his soul. Within this duality lies a glimpse of colour. A hint of freedom? No words. Close your eyes, listen, and let the original soundtrack, composed exclusively for the game, tugs at heartstrings and guide you deeper into Lucas’ fractured world. Lucas’ refuge lies behind a closed door - a room where time stands still, and the outside world fades to whispers. Here, while the walls silently observe his changes, Lucas wrestles with memories, regrets and the dream of the past. You hold the key now. Enter Lucas’ room, put together every piece of his past, solve puzzles and unlock the door. But beware: the truth can be as fragile as glass. Shattered awaits. Will you fix what’s broken or let the pieces scatter even more?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shattered at none against Dolphin Evolution's 16. Shattered also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
