About the Game

In SHADOW, expect the unexpected. Every shadow conceals danger, every sound fuels your dread. Dare to survive a night of terror where the darkness is your enemy, and the unknown waits at every turn.

The prison facility is under attack. You are one of the few survivors left. In a prison facility, inside the concealed walls, forces you to embrace your fears of silence, and claustrophobic spaces. As a prisoner, you only have one objective: escape the facility alive. There will be obstacles that's only objective is to eliminate you. The obstacles are unidentifiable humanoid anomalies. As you escape, you will find the facility is under lockdown, you have to find the security keys from unusual places to help you open specific locked doors. Lastly, you have an ability to see through the darkness as well as find objects that benefit you during your escape journey.

There is no save system. If you lose, you restart from the beginning. Your stamina is your health, your survival depends on it. Every action you take, effects your stamina bar. If you run out, you lose the game. There are environments that will require you to take action, preserve stamina properly. Escape prison before you run out of stamina or get caught by anomalies. Anomalies that will stop at nothing to eliminate you. Be sure to memorize every location and every surprise as you escape the facility.

You, as the Protagonist, will be stepping in to finding the truth behind her existential trauma as you escape. You will be given the choice to decide how she chooses to view the truth of reality based on how you escape, with consequences to her fateful life.

Embrace your fears...
