Shrouded in Shade

A queer, light-horror experience - read, throw shade, and play your way.

Inspired heavily by queer culture, including pop-culture references and some scenes that portray vulgar language, Shrouded in Shade is a project born out of an appreciation for all things queer and horror.

You play as a young gay man, and have sought out a fortune teller to give you some much needed guidance. Choose your narrative journey, pick your battles with the Old Crone, and come to terms with your past, present and future.

• Keyboard Support only.
• Windows only.
• Short interactive narrative journey.
• Simple and intuitive control scheme.
• Humorous dialogue exchanges.
• Fully voice acted.
• Made by members of the LGBTQIA+ community, for anyone to enjoy.

Worked on by two individuals, this was developed as part of a small two-week game jam for a master's degree.

Options and accessibility are extremely limited due to the minimal time-frame. Project is unoptomized and graphics settings are limited, so if it's unable to run on your machine, I apologise.
