Primitive Shades

Primitive Shades is a first-person, story-driven horror game told across multiple Parts. The base game includes Part 1: Better Left Abandoned; future Parts will continue the story as DLC.

Better Left Abandoned

You plan a late-night exploration of an abandoned school with your friends. One by one, they cancel until only you and one friend remain. You go inside alone to wait, but your friend never arrives.

As you explore the empty halls, you find a strange puzzle hidden in the school. Solving it seems harmless at first, but it releases something.

The Shades

The creatures are called Shades: living beings formed from primitive geometric shapes. They make the abandoned school far more dangerous than you expected. You must discover what they are, why they are there and what happened inside the school.

Explore the school

You search the school, solve puzzles and uncover hidden clues to piece together the events that led to its abandonment. Exploration and puzzle-solving move the story forward, while increasingly dangerous encounters stand between you and the truth. Each discovery brings you closer to understanding the Shades and why some things were better left abandoned.
