About Shadow Detective
Shadow Detective is a horror adventure set in a large school where classrooms, corridors, staff rooms and normally inaccessible areas connect seamlessly. You explore the school to find traces of an incident, hidden items and clues to the truth behind supernatural activity, while facing invisible shadows.
Explore the school
The story unfolds across two school buildings. A single playthrough takes 2–3 hours if you simply run through the game, but clues hidden throughout the school reveal more about the supernatural events. The final ending changes depending on whether you explore those clues, and replaying can uncover story and endings you missed before.
Gadgets and items
- Shadow Tracer: detect the locations of invisible shadows and monitor your surroundings for approaching danger.
- Mobile Battery: restore a flashlight's battery. You can also charge your phone quickly at school outlets, choosing whether to continue exploring or wait for it to charge.
- Crowbar: temporarily disperse a nearby shadow by striking it. Each use heats the crowbar, and continued use can make it too hot to hold.
- Salt: keep shadows from approaching. Its uses are limited, so placing it near important places or dangerous areas can create a safe zone.
