Wayward Shadows
SteamTravel through the rural United States and help people rid their small towns of the monsters that infest them. Every case you solve will grant your hunters experience, skills and equipment. But don’t take too long - something bad is coming, and you have to be ready to face it.

Every mysterious murder you solve will help your hunters gather experience, skills and equipment. Level up and build your hunters into efficient monster killers. Endless combinations will make every run different and challenging. But death is not the end. Your legacy will live on and you earn legacy points to distribute which permanently improve your stats in all future runs.

Survive turn-based battles against deadly, supernatural creatures using your skill and knowledge. Choose the right weapons, damage types and tactics for each monster. Do you know how to kill a Wraith or a Werewolf? Use your monster hunting journal to track which monster is vulnerable to what elements and weapons. Each battle could be your last, so better show up prepared!

Pick two hunters and a vehicle and build your very own monster hunting team. Find the best combination of skills and equipment to survive as long as possible. Each hunter has unique skills and can carry different weapons and armor. Level up and improve your hunter's stats and efficiency. Along the way you will find hidden hunter bazaars and pawn shops to equip your hunters with deadly weapons.
