About the Game

Shadow Uprising is a single player, post apocalyptic stealth game, designed exclusively for virtual reality systems. You play a cybernetically enhanced ninja whose goal is to overthrow the oppressive AI overlord. Along your journey you’ll discover long forgotten secrets, recover ancient artifacts, and help save what remains of humanity.

  • Completely unrestricted mobility. Whether using traditional locomotion, hooking from one wall to another, or climbing freely, nothing can stop you from reaching your destination.



  • Stealth Gameplay. A robust stealth and detection system allows the player to distract, outsmart, and out-maneuver any guard.



  • Sneak Attacks. With a swift slice of a sword, the player can quickly and efficiently assassinate any unsuspecting guard.



  • Complete Combat System. Assassinations are most commonly the answer, but nothing stops a brave player from dashing into combat with both swords drawn.



  • Customizable Loadout. Featuring 8 different upgrades ranging from long range shurikens, kunais that emit vision-blocking clouds of smoke, to a bow that can stop time itself while drawn.



  • Secrets & Lore. Find over 30 carefully hidden secrets throughout the game to learn about the tragic history that lead to the establishment of the Shadow Uprising.



  • Epic Boss Fight. The most dedicated of ninjas will face the AI itself in an epic boss fight that is literally out of this world.
