Faced with a dream that alters something within, you are forced to return to your abandoned childhood home. There you find a way to an unknown realm.
“There exists a world parallel to ours; alike in many aspects, yet different where it matters most. The only thing we know for sure is that certain people of that world have found a way to get to ours. Don’t trust them. And, whatever you do, look out for your own shadow.” —Unknown One night, you are faced with a dream that alters something within you, forcing you to return to your now abandoned childhood home to search for answers. Little do you know that the abnormalities of the house are tied to another realm, and it appears your ancestors have a mysterious connection to it. But although their stories ended, yours remains to be written. Will you trust what you see, or search for a different truth? Will you put faith in those who claim to be your friends and shun the enemy, or turn the tables around? You may find your best friend, your nemesis or even fall in love during your journey. The outcome is up to you. The Shadow Society is a 550,000-word interactive modern fantasy novel by Cara Palmer, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fuelled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The Shadow Society is a standalone story with no sequels planned.
