About the Game

“The Shuffling Man” is a short visual novel based on the story of the same name — a tale about silence that lets something shuffling into your home.
It’s an intimate story about fear and the cracks that grow between people, slowly eating a family from the inside.

Dive into the story of a woman suffering a nervous breakdown, trying to protect her daughter from something she believes comes at night.

This visual novel opens the horror anthology “BLACKMURK” — a series of short standalone stories, each created with a unique art style and adapted from a work by a contemporary author.

Features

  • 🪚 Heart-Wrenching Story - Based on “The Shuffling Man” by Roman “Chainsaw” Chyorny, an author whose horror cuts deep and lingers.

  • 🩻 Dark Soundtrack - A dark, minimalistic and unsettling dark ambient score by REDCHINAWAVE — exactly the sound this story needs.

  • 🩸 Familiar Touch - From Hinterland Mood, the same developer behind the fan-favorite visual novel “Banebush”.
