Escape from creepy monsters and avoid deadly traps in the 2D horror adventure Shadow Pulse. Stealth and speed are your best weapons. Madness and death await at every turn. Will you be able to unravel the mysteries of this post-apocalyptic world?
Shadow Pulse
SteamHumanity is barely clinging to its survival. An ominous moon bleeds in the sky. The gnashing of mechanical killers echoes over the ruins of cities. From the forests come the inhuman howls of horrific monsters.
Shadow Pulse is a story-driven 2D adventure horror. You will have to take on the role of Leonard Venturi. A newcomer to a squad of marauders and scouts, he has been driven from the relative safety of the city walls of an enclave of survivors. His squad is tasked with exploring an abandoned institute that is hidden in the mountains. Finding the place and collecting everything of value sounds like standard procedure.
This mission will be the last for his squad.

You will have to use stealth, speed, and makeshift devices to survive. You are deprived of effective weapons, your resources are limited and cunning enemies relentlessly pursue you across vast locations of ruins and dungeons.

Wherever you go, danger awaits you. Your enemies are looking for you. Speed and stealth are your best weapons. Various gadgets can bail you out, but they are only a minor help in an unequal fight.

The game's plot is non-linear, and your adventure can change markedly depending on the decisions you make. Your actions will have consequences, and not all of them are obvious.
This world is full of mysteries and secrets. Pick locks, find passwords and solve logic puzzles to unlock the secrets of this world.
Search and collect resources to create all the necessary consumables and supplies. Without them you can't survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
