The truth is something that we all fight to get, even if it’s for the tiniest of things. The teams at Shadowlight and Phoenix Game are ready to give you a unique Cyber-Noir twist on the detective genre when they drop Kill The Shadow next week on Steam. It’ll drop on August 5th, and when it arrives, it’ll be up to you to uncover the truth within the city you’re in. Your choices will matter here, but don’t worry, you can also rewind the clock to see new angles and make corrections if you need to. Sound interesting? Good! Check out this synopsis and trailer for the title:

“Players step into the role of Lucas, a former detective haunted by both his past and the mysterious Shadow attached to his back, a supernatural entity capable of reconstructing the final moments of the dead. Rather than changing the past, Lucas uses the Shadow to observe and reconstruct crime scenes exactly as they occurred, piecing together evidence, exposing lies, and uncovering the sinister forces manipulating the city from the shadows.”

Every case you take on will leave you asking more and more questions, and you’ll need to work hard and be careful to get the answers you need. Here are some other features for the detective title to intrigue you:

• Investigate a City Full of Secrets: Solve interconnected murder cases while uncovering the hidden truth behind Dark Tide City’s mysterious past.
• Reconstruct Crime Scenes: Harness the power of the Shadow to examine the final moments of the deceased and witness events exactly as they happened, allowing you to connect clues and uncover the truth behind each case.
• Become the Detective You Want to Be: Develop Lucas through RPG progression, using deduction, persuasion, charm, or brute force to solve every investigation your own way.
• Meaningful Choices & Multiple Endings: Judge, forgive, or condemn those responsible as your decisions shape the fate of the city and its inhabitants.
• A Stunning Chinese Cyber-Noir World: Experience a distinctive blend of highly detailed 3D environments and beautifully animated 2D pixel art characters.
