Shadows Over Loathing

Shadows Over Loathing is a single-player comedy adventure/RPG set in the prohibition-era Loathing universe. When you arrive in Ocean City to help your Uncle Murray at his antique shop, he is missing. You investigate his disappearance and the artifacts he was collecting, uncovering shadowy plots and eldritch tentacles that threaten the end of the world.

Explore the world

You explore a sprawling open world filled with danger, quests, puzzles and stick figures. The game includes more locations, items, friends, foes and familiars than West of Loathing, along with thousands of jokes, gags and goofs. Its hand-drawn line art and stick-figure customization return with more of both, and the world includes multiple cursed antiques, a corrupt government you can overthrow, baffling 1920s slang, inappropriate fishing and non-Euclidean horrors beyond the edges of the screen.

You can encounter sentient math, talking frogs and cats you can pet, explore an infinitely tall building, and take on a time-travel side quest given to you by your future self. There is no booze, as far as the feds know.

Choose your character

You can play as the athletic Pig Skinner, the cunning Cheese Wizard or the Jazz Agent, who follows their own inscrutable purposes. The Pig Skinner can stuff enemies into a phone booth, while the Cheese Wizard controls the curds and whey of the cosmos.

Turn-based combat

Combat is strategic and turn-based, but you can choose whether to engage with it.
