One of the most fun games I've gotten my hands on. The mix of characters and the idea of the game is executed perfectly. The two maps are great and the proximity chat in game and sounds is perhaps the best aspect of this game. Can't wait for future updates!
Don't pay full price for this until some SERIOUS changes are made.
This game has been abandoned. Do not pay for this demo.
A very fun game, i had a chance to play both maps without a Shift after me which helped give me a lay of the maps without stress and see what to expect, my annoyance was the Carnival Map as the bumper car minigame glitched out giving me enough parts to fix the ferris wheel and complete the map without being able to do the rest of the minigames, overall it was very fun and tried to do it in a livestream which can be found below, if its polished enough in terms of gameplay breaking bugs being fixed and a first person mode to make it easier to pick up objects (I found a vial of stuff i needed under a wardrobe that didnt want to be picked up) i would likely return to this to try and get a lobby full of people.

Добавили бы русский язык. Много багов, в эту игру играл ещё на демке ничего не изменилось кроме карт. Потенциал может и большой , но по мне ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ какая то
Geme muito divertido, tem uma temática infantil com uma pitada de aflição por estar sendo perseguido a todo tempo, Uma mistura de DBD com Devour cheio de puzzle pra fazer e cenários bem legais . OBS : Não tem servidores América do Sul difícil encontrar partidas a não ser q esteja com amigos pra montar um loby. Muitos bugs mas é de se esperar em um game antecipado bugs como travar em obstáculos, cair em limbo ficar preso nas xícaras do parque de diversões entre outros. Game precisa de um polimento mas é bem divertido. No mais é promissor assim q tiver uma galera ativa nele vai ser bem maneiro.
Shadows is a truly unique horror experience, and one of the most enjoyable I've played! I love that the game gives you the option to play both as the Shift and now in single-player mode too. It keeps things fresh every time you play — the map layout changes each time, which adds a lot of replayability. My favorite map has to be the carnival. The variety of different carnival games is awesome, and it adds a lot of fun to the spooky atmosphere. The combination of single-player and multiplayer modes makes the game even more exciting and challenging. You should check out the ghost train which is a favourite of mine to always try and beat my previous score! Really looking forward to future updates! Great job to everyone who worked on Shadows!
O conceito é interessante e divertido com os amigos mas não tem players, precisa ser squad fechado e encontramos vários bugs principalmente no mapa principal
This game is sooo cute. It is a kid version of DBD and i love it. BUT there are some issues. We played almost 4 hours with no wins. Here are a few things that I found. 1. There was no way to get the happiness to full. It would never increase. We kept playing games and doing everything we could but happiness would not increase. 2. Items would get glitched to you and then you would be seen with items glitched to your back. 3. My friends would glitch out and have to leave the game and could not they could no longer interact with the game. 4. The abilities sometimes didn't work. 5. When all friend go in as team and no monster, there is NO AI to be the monster. I think AI need to be included to fill the lobbies when it isn't full. 6. When riding the roller coaster in the haunted house, it would move really slow around corners making it hard to shoot the targets. Targets seem to be located in odd spots during the uphill and downhill of the ride because its luck if you hit them. I am not going to down thumb the game because the game is fun. It just needs a lot work. We never once in 4 hours, got to experience a win because someone would always glitch out because we just could not get the happiness up. I think games should be short. We played over an hour on one game and never got happiness above half. That is just crazy. SO it just needs to work but I don't think it is worth the 14.99 they are asking. I did get the game key for free from keymailer and that is not why I am giving it a thumbs up. The game has so much potential, it just needs work.
Unfortunately haven't chance to play it normally because there was no people online and my friends let me down. But game concept looks relay cool i would love to see more at some point in time.
