Kill The Shadow

Kill The Shadow is an investigation game set in Dark Tide City. You explore its districts, investigate bizarre cases and piece together the truth behind the city’s fracture ten years ago. A strange creature called the Shadow clings to your back, reading memories and reconstructing traces left by the dead.

Cases and clues

Investigations take you from the mysterious death of a puppy named Teddy to the disappearance of Master Reed in a crowded temple fair, old grudges at Shipwreck Wharf and scattered papers in an unknown prison. You gather, analyze and connect clues, building your own investigation trail. You can approach suspects with mind games, bribes or force.

Explore Dark Tide City

The city’s freely explorable locations span distinct districts. They include a rusting steel jungle around a shuttered factory, the muddy stilt-built Shipwreck Wharf, the floating slum of Pig Cage Walled City, where Chinese tradition and neon lights meet, and the crowded streets of the Old Town District. The game combines 3D HD environments with 2D pixel characters.

People of the city

You meet residents with stories behind their masks, including the sanctimonious Captain Theo, fiery young Axel Flint, son of Griff Flint, defiant Rafe Carter, cheerful shutterbug Kiki, elegant Mrs. Reed, a rumored hex-casting Priestess, warm-hearted fishmonger Auntie Bass and foul-mouthed little rascal Chiffon.

Shape your investigation

You choose how to improve Strength, Spirit and Charm, and decide how to handle each case. As the investigation unfolds, you can choose to kill, judge or perhaps kiss the mastermind.
