How far will you go to repay a debt?

Agents of Shadow is a merciless horror RPG crawler set in the Folded World, a twisted parallel universe where urban legends like the Bogeyman, Bloody Mary (Hanako), Jiangshi, and the endless Backrooms prey on the lost. As Lee, a daring YouTuber, and Nyx, her enigmatic partner bound by a dark pact with Seth, the Folded World’s master, you’ll face 49-minute missions to rescue survivors—or sacrifice them. Every choice is a gamble, every second a countdown to madness or death.

Core Features:

• Relentless Time Pressure: Each phase grants 49 minutes (7x7 Ritual of the Seven Mirrors). Failures cost 7 minutes; pursuers like the Bogeyman strike every 2 minutes.

• Insanity’s Edge: Sanity warps combat—70-90% doubles your damage, but above 90%, it’s slashed to a quarter. Embrace madness or lose everything.

• Treacherous World: Navigate 85 adaptive maps with shifting weather, eerie drone soundtracks, and enemies that evolve with every visit.

• Strategic Survival: Choose turn-based combat or desperate escapes. Over 100 skills like Dementia (hits all) or Frosty (freezes foes) demand careful charge management.

• Moral Abyss: Nyx’s pact forces a brutal choice—sacrifice yourself to free him or betray your savior for survival.

Gameplay That Punishes:Drawing from Ib and Silent Hill, Agents of Shadow blends survival horror with tactical RPG elements. Randomized maps, enemy spawns, and exploration points keep each run unpredictable. Combat is turn-based with a twist—target enemy weaknesses or risk losing limbs to Jiangshi’s claws. Skills like Blaster exploit elemental affinities, but limited charges and rising insanity make every move a risk. Hide in tall grass or haunted mirrors, but know that fleeing is often your only hope.

A World of Nightmares:The Folded World is unrelenting—expect psychological horror, moral dilemmas, and mature themes like betrayal, sacrifice, and loss. This game is for adults only, with heavy content including violence, psychological torment, and tragic choices. Five-language support (English, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Japanese) brings global myths to life, appealing to fans of Mad Father and Fire Emblem.

Trial and Error Survival:With randomized elements and a brutal 7-shard soul system (lose all, and it’s game over), Agents of Shadow demands you learn from every mistake. Equip over 50 items, master 100+ skills, and explore a glossary of 100 themes to survive. Run, hide, or fight—but every choice has a cost.

The world of Agents of Shadow is UTTERLY BLEAK. THIS GAME IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! Extreme violence and gore are daily sights in the Folded World, and death is one of the easier escapes. The game features drug use, substance abuse, and heavy themes ranging from sacrifice to violence against children. None of these themes are taken lightly, however. They are woven into the world-building to craft a unique atmosphere that tests how far players will go to survive.

Parts of the map layouts, events, items, and enemy placements are randomized with variations to keep each playthrough fresh. Agents of Shadow employs a bespoke adaptive system where frequently visited maps alter monster behavior, music, weather, and more. The game is built on an innovative time-is-life mechanic—death isn’t final if you have time left to bargain. This isn’t about fighting enemies to grow stronger; combat is an unwanted consequence. Your goal is to flee, survive, and rescue. Fighting is the last resort before death. Learn from your mistakes, and you’ll soon delve deeper into the Folded World’s horrors.

Combat in Agents of Shadow is turn-based, akin to classic RPGs, but with a unique twist. Characters have affinities for specific weapons, and monsters are weak to certain elements. Each skill has severely limited charges tied to equipped gear, and an insanity system can amplify or cripple your damage if not carefully managed. But don’t forget—fleeing threats is often the best choice. Survival demands creativity: find better equipment, learn spells, rescue survivors, strike pacts, or perform rituals drawn from REAL urban legends. Hide in protected areas, but be wary—immortal pursuers will hunt you in a hybrid ARPG-turn-based system. Time is your lifeblood, and controlling it is key.

Warning: This game is unrelenting, with intense psychological horror, brutal mechanics, and morally crushing choices. Only the cunning will endure the Folded World.

Beschrijving inhoud voor volwassenen

De ontwikkelaars omschrijven de inhoud als volgt:

Agents of Shadow contains mature content and is intended for adult audiences only . The game features extreme violence, gore, and frequent deaths, with graphic depictions of blood and encounters with urban legends like Bogeyman and Jiangshi. Heavy themes include human sacrifice, narratives involving children in danger, drug use, and substance abuse, all woven into the Folded World’s dark narrative to create an oppressive psychological horror atmosphere.

Players will face agonizing moral choices, including dilemmas of betrayal and sacrifice, which may be emotionally disturbing. The insanity system explores mental deterioration, with consequences impacting gameplay and narrative. While there are no explicit depictions of sexual acts or sexual violence, the game addresses sensitive mature themes such as loss, despair, and implied self-harm through rituals based on urban legends, where nudity of humanoid creatures is common.

This content is integral to the world-building and is not treated lightly, aiming to test players’ emotional and strategic limits. Players sensitive to these themes should consider this before playing. We recommend reviewing the demo to assess the tone and content.
