Our take on Shadows 2: Perfidia
The defining structure is a multi-story office maze where solving puzzles opens each floor’s elevator, while encounters and item locations change from level to level.
What is Shadows 2: Perfidia?
Set in a gloomy office building with several floors, this survival horror game offers two playable characters, each tied to a separate setting, plot, and group of challenges.
Over 18 stages mix environmental puzzles and encounters with creatures, with objects and events changing between stages. Solving puzzles opens the elevator to the next floor and reveals a betrayal-and-revenge narrative. A sanity mechanic reacts to frightening experiences; energy drinks and covering the character’s eyes can reduce trauma. More than three monster varieties use different tactics. Hidden collectibles across the building reveal bonus material and development documents.
