Shrouded in Shade
A downloadable game for Windows
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.
