About This Game

Life is like a videotape, where colors and sounds are imprinted on the blank tape, old memories can be revisited again and again, and the dull part of the story can be fast-forwarded. But, someone always presses the STOP button.


Overview:

Valley of Shadows is a short psychological horror game set in an ordinary American suburb. The story follows a regular family man named James, whose life takes an extraordinary turn when he returns home late at night after a hard day's work, only to find his house empty and his wife and daughter mysteriously vanished. A cryptic videotape left by an unknown visitor on the doorstep sets the stage for a chilling adventure.
As James attempts to unravel the mystery of his missing family, he is plagued by a sense of paranoia and the eerie feeling that he is constantly being watched. Paranormal forces turn his reality into a living nightmare, as he navigates through the unsettling environment, trying to piece together the clues left behind.

Key Features:

  • Built on Unreal Engine 5, creating an immersive and atmospheric environment with photorealistic graphics.
  • Experience a "walking simulator" gameplay style, enriched with easy puzzles that enhance the storytelling.
  • Valley of Shadows focuses on atmospheric psychological horror, prioritizing a lingering atmosphere of terror over cheap jumpscares.
  • The game offers a concise narrative, with approximately 30 minutes of gameplay, perfect for a spine-tingling evening.



Prepare to delve into the eerie unknown in Valley of Shadows, where every shadow hides a deeper darkness, and the line between the ordinary and the nightmare blurs.
