Shadow Album

Shadow Album is a multi-ending life-simulation game about Nira, a shy, socially anxious gravure model trying to make a living alone in a big city. After graduating, she gets by on part-time jobs until an unexpected opportunity makes her a fashion magazine cover model. She aims to become an internet celebrity by gaining followers and members, earning income and pursuing opportunities, but she may also give up and leave the city. Along the way, she faces temptations, challenges, online abuse and pressure on her mental health.

Build Nira’s profile

You take selfies, choose which photos to share on social media and interact with fans. Boring posts may disappoint her followers, while more extreme ones can draw criticism and negative comments. You also create photo collections to win public support, gain devoted fans and financial backing, raise Nira’s profile and seek collaborations. Her ideas for shoots depend in part on the experiences she has gathered in daily life, and fame can bring jealousy, hostility and online abuse, so you must also manage her public image and mood.

Balance work and relationships

Nira combines her idol career with part-time work while trying to manage her state of mind and find her true self. Events can shape her into someone more open, darker or cheerful and lively. She has few friends, is distant from her parents for reasons not specified, and needs help from people around her to pursue fame. You can seek friends and companions, who may help or hinder her, and beware of people with bad intentions. You can also deepen bonds with friends and follow their endings.

Different outcomes

Nira may become a successful idol, remain little-known or abandon her ambitions and leave the city. She may find love with someone who cares for her, or discover that she prefers women. The story has branching paths and multiple endings, and your choices shape which outcome she reaches.
