Mortal Shell II Knows What You Play and Uses It Against You

Mortal Shell II breaks the fourth wall ahead of its final boss by inspecting players’ Steam libraries and mocking their personal gaming habits.

Stone tablets placed near the final encounter display customized messages based on the user’s most played titles. The game pulls playtime and activity data directly from the connected account to generate the text.

One player who logged 16,062 hours in Destiny 2—roughly 669 days of continuous play—was asked why they spent so much time on the game and whether they were trapped in it.

Other users reported seeing tailored remarks referencing Elden Ring, Counter-Strike 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3. The tablets dynamically adapt to each account history, delivering a distinct jab to every player who reaches the climax.
