About the Game

Black Shadow is a first-person survival horror game.
Players take on the role of investigator Eric Stone, exploring a mysterious underground space permeated by dark matter in search of the truth and a way out.
In areas consumed by darkness, safety is never guaranteed.
The only things you can rely on are calm judgment, careful movement, and your instinct to escape.

Story

Across the Earth, a dark mist known as “Black Shadow” has appeared in multiple regions.
Probes indicate that it contains immense energy, yet no signs of hostility have been observed so far.

The Federal Research Institute dispatches investigator Eric Stone to one of the mist zones to conduct an investigation, hoping he can locate the teammates who have lost contact.

However, during his exploration, Eric encounters grave danger…
