In the Shadows
A thrilling race to the center — with a monster by your side.
Game Pitch
In The Shadows is a fast-paced multiplayer horror puzzle game where players must escape a dark maze while being relentlessly hunted by AI-controlled monsters. Each match pits up to four players against a terrifying AI that won’t stop until you’re eliminated.
Players choose both a character and a monster partner, each with their own future special abilities, and spawn on the edge of a procedurally generated maze. The goal is to navigate the maze, avoid being hunted, and find the hidden door in the center to escape.
Use strategy and tools like shotguns to distract or slow the monster, but be warned: getting caught a few times means you’re out. Fast-paced matches lasting 5–10 minutes make this ideal for speedrunners, horror fans, and competitive players alike. Earn gold, unlock new characters and monsters, and prepare for ranked play and additional upgrades in future updates.
Will you find the door, or will the shadows find you?
