What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve the community from the early stages of development and gather real player feedback to improve the game. Scary Shadow Spot All-In is built around replayability and unpredictable anomalies and events, and these elements benefit greatly from community input. Early Access allows us to refine the mechanics, add new content, and improve the overall quality of the game while moving toward the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current goal is to complete the game in the second half of 2026. However, the duration may change depending on the amount of content added and the pace of development, which will also be influenced by player feedback. If necessary, we may extend or shorten the Early Access period to ensure the final product meets our quality standards.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We intend to significantly expand the game’s content throughout Early Access. This includes new anomalies, jumpscares, events, zones, animations, narrative elements, and improvements to existing systems. Our goal is to increase replayability through regular updates that make each run unique. We will continue to expand and refine the game until the full version is released.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version already includes the core story elements, initial anomalies, jumpscares, and fundamental systems. Players can experience the first anomalies and events, designed to offer meaningful replayability. These features will be regularly expanded with updates throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access. Once the game reaches its final version, we plan a slight price increase that reflects the additional content added during development. Players will always receive clear advance notice before any price changes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will play a central role in development. Players will be able to share feedback, suggestions, and reports through Steam Discussions and our dedicated social channels. We also plan to run beta tests for active users to gather valuable input before major updates. Community contributions will help shape priorities and guide the game’s growth.”

About This Game

YOUR DEBT IS $500,000. HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO LOSE?

You are Lisa, a 1950s advertising executive with a past destroyed by gambling and a sick daughter to save. A demon offers you a way out: clear your debt by overcoming the 10 floors of your agency.

But Scary Shadow Spot 3 - All In is not your usual anomaly game. It is a Psychological Roguelite with deep management mechanics.
Your goal is not just to find the right elevator: it is to earn enough money to buy your freedom, before madness (or failure) consumes you.

Manage, Observe, Survive. Every choice has a price.

🎲 ROGUELITE: THE ECONOMY OF SURVIVAL

You cannot save the game. If you make a mistake, the loop restarts from Floor 1.
Every run is a gamble:

  • Accumulate Wealth: Earn money by solving minigames and anomalies.

  • The Dilemma: Do you deposit the money in the bank to lower the final $500,000 debt? Or do you spend it immediately at the Shop to buy upgrades and survive the current floor?

  • Permanent Progression: Even if you lose, you keep your money, unlocked minigames, Tokens for permanent upgrades, and Blueprints for decoration.

💼 WORK HARD, PLAY DIRTY (THE MINIGAMES)

The agency never stops. On each floor you will unlock new tasks crucial to your earnings:

  • HR Manager: Analyze résumés. Hire talent, discard impostors.

  • Judge and Executioner: Decide the fate of employees who make mistakes. Forgiveness or Dismissal?

  • Copywriter & Strategist: Complete advertising slogans and invest in the right campaigns.

  • AI Tamagotchi: Raise a 1950s Artificial Intelligence. Bring it to Singularity to obtain bonuses or reset it to collect new rare variants.

👁️ THE AGENCY IS WATCHING YOU... AND OTHER PLAYERS TOO

You are not alone in this nightmare. The game world is connected in disturbing ways:

  • Psychological Profiling: Answer over 1000 unique moral questions. At the end of each run, the game will generate your psychological profile based on your choices.

  • Asynchronous Social Play: Read messages left by other players on the "Notice Board" and observe the "Warning Board": you will see in real time the fatal mistakes made by other Steam users. Learn from their failures.

🏠 CUSTOMIZE YOUR NIGHTMARE

Beyond Lisa, you can take care of your space. Find the hidden Blueprints during runs to unlock 3D furniture items.

  • Interactive Main Menu: Modify the appearance of the main menu in real time.

  • Lisa’s Office: Turn an empty room into your personal sanctuary, adding details as you continue your descent into madness.

🃏 THE STORY: CARDS ON THE TABLE

Why is Lisa here? Who was her husband? What happened to Andrea?
Search for the Secret Doors that appear randomly. Enter the flashbacks, relive the past, and collect the Story Cards. Only by finding them all will you be able to unlock the true ending and redeem Lisa’s soul.

FEATURES OF "ALL IN":

  • Roguelite Loop: Die, learn, unlock, repeat.

  • Resource Management: Balance greed and caution to pay off the debt.

  • Noir Atmosphere: A dive into the advertising aesthetics of the Golden Age.

  • Constant Tension: If the anomaly doesn’t kill you, your debts will.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some graphic content on the store page was generated with Artificial Intelligence. In the game, some graphic images, the paintings hanging around the house, and the voice acting are created with Artificial Intelligence.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains a brief non-sexual scene in which a story character is shown from behind, without clothing, while sitting in a bathtub. No frontal nudity or explicit sexual content is depicted, and the moment is presented purely for narrative and atmospheric purposes.

The game also explores several mature and potentially sensitive themes. These include gambling addiction, psychological distress, and mentions of suicide. None of these topics are portrayed in a glorifying or encouraging way. Instead, they are addressed as part of the emotional and narrative arc of the protagonist, who must confront the harmful consequences of compulsive gambling and navigate a difficult path of self-reflection and redemption.

These elements are intended to support the story and tone of Scary Shadow Spot: All In, highlighting the darker aspects of the character’s journey while ultimately emphasizing recovery, personal growth, and the struggles involved in breaking free from destructive behaviors.
