Undershadows

Undershadows is a darkly absurd adventure set in a hand-drawn world. You explore a surreal landscape, uncover a story about loss, identity and twisted fates, and fight enemies in real time using point-and-click actions. A shadow companion joins you, while a sarcastic mask comments on what you encounter.

The Shadowlands

The semi-open world includes forests, caves, an ancient castle hidden in the mountains and a cheerful town. More than 800 hand-drawn scenes make up its settings. The story combines dark humor, moral gray areas and unexpected surprises.

Real-time combat

Click enemies to attack, deflect projectiles with precise timing, use powerful skills and select items from your inventory. Enemy types behave differently: some transform during battles, strike back when defeated or can kill you in one blow. Others confront you with puzzles or projectile patterns.

Boss fights pit you against massive shadow creatures that reshape entire levels. Each has special rules and unexpected attacks, and battles can include story events.

Develop your shadow

Your companion can level up, gain abilities and follow different transformation paths, letting you shape your combat style. Paths include Nature > Beast > Hydra and Tech > Weapons > Rocket Launcher.

Quests and puzzles

Sidequests and surreal puzzles add to your journey through a world where appearances can be misleading, including the shadows that seem to offer help.
