Our take on The Shadelight
Players who want to move freely through rooms may hit a wall once the mutant family begins hunting by image and sound. Searching for escape items requires cautious movement and hiding, so the pursuit system is the point where an unhurried exploration style may stop fitting.
What is The Shadelight?
Explore a mansion and nearby area in this horror game set in Louisiana.
Hide in dark corners, move cautiously, and avoid a mutant family that hunts the player using image- and sound-based artificial intelligence. Search rooms for items needed to leave the mansion, and work through the family’s secrets as part of finding a way out.
