About This Game

Shadow Codex invites you into a mystical world where magic meets mystery. In this cooperative puzzle-horror game, you and your friends take on the roles of a daring explorer and wise researchers, each with your own crucial part to play. Set in an enchanted forest filled with secrets, you’ll need to communicate effectively and strategize together to uncover ancient truths and combat malevolent witches.

As the explorer, navigate through atmospheric, richly detailed environments—from a enervating graveyard to a frozen lake—each haunted by a distinct elemental witch with unique powers and vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, the scholar assists by deciphering a mystical book filled with lore, puzzles, and spells essential for progress and survival.

In Shadow Codex, your teamwork will be tested as you delve deeper into the forest’s shadows. Can you and your partner banish the darkness together, or will you be consumed by the secrets that lurk within? Step into the forest, and discover what lies beyond the veil.
