Don't pay full price for this until some SERIOUS changes are made.
I played it for a few hours and I also played the Demo. It is a fun game to play with your friends who like spooky things but also the ones who don't like horror so much because it is the perfect mix between spooky and cozy. it has fun characters to play with and fun maps. Ofc there are still Issues with the game but that is to be expected for an early-access game done by an Indie Developer. :) I am really happy to see what to Devs have up their sleeve for their next updates!

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.

Solid game across the board despite the bugs, after a little more polishing this game will be ready for full release imo
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
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
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!
Once this game is released in its fullest form, I think it'll be a great game. It has a lot of potential to be a really fun party game with friends. At the moment, it's rough. There are a lot of bugs that made the experience less than ideal, mainly having to do with movement. I played with friends, and a few of us had to restart the game a couple of times because we would get soft-locked in an animation, or they would move over a rock and be stuck there for the rest of the game, or as the Shift, they would try to walk through a door and get caught on... something?? I think there are a bunch of quality of life updates that have to be taken a look at, like looking at the settings menu should not require me to leave my party and fly halfway across the planet. I also find it odd that as the Shift you can't actually see the other characters? It made it hard to know if I'd knocked someone down or if I was picking them up. I know that the devs are looking into an AI shift for a single player mode, and I think if they implemented that for regular multiplayer mode, that would be great too, so you could have a full lobby of 4 players and not have to have someone be the shift. At the moment, I wouldn't recommend this game and would say it's probably best to wait for the full release next year, once the devs have had a chance to iron out the kinks that make the game challenging to play!
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.
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.
