The Obsessive Shadow is a Survival Horror Game about a stalker you can't exactly Identify. With nothing but your eyes and a flashlight at your disposal, it's up to you to survive whatever horrific person or thing is out there watching you...

In The Obsessive Shadow, you take on the role of Liam, a 9-year-old
boy left alone in his home after the power suddenly goes out, plunging
the house into suffocating darkness.
Armed with only a flashlight, you must navigate the unsettling dangers
of the night as you are being watched throughout the night.
Your mother's voice on the phone is your guide to surviving,
But as her instructions grow more confusing and the unease deepens,
the safety of her words begins to feel increasingly fragile.
Something is watching, a shadowy figure moving just out of sight,
waiting for you to slip up.
As the hours creep forward, the once-familiar home becomes an
unfamiliar labyrinth of fear, each corner hiding the possibility of
confrontation with the lurking entity.
Testing your courage and instincts as you struggle to stay one step
ahead of the unseen threat. Your mother's voice remains your
lifeline,
but survival demands more than just following her instructions—it
requires vigilance,
quick thinking, and a determination to face the overwhelming dread.
Will you endure the relentless terror and make it to morning, or will
the suffocating darkness claim you before dawn?
