Every city has its secrets. Dark Tide City, however, has buried theirs deep beneath layers of rain, neon, and decades of deceit.
If you are a fan of atmospheric storytelling, gritty noir investigations, and deep RPG mechanics, developer Shadowlight and publisher Phoenix Games have just dropped your next gaming obsession. Kill the Shadow has officially launched on PC via Steam, inviting players to dive headfirst into the dangerous, rain-soaked streets of a city where the truth is never quite what it seems.
To celebrate launch day, the game is available for £14.99 / $16.99 / €16.99, along with a limited-time 10% launch discount to sweeten the deal.
Reconstruct the Past to Save the Present
Kill the Shadow isn’t just another noir adventure—it brings a unique blend of mystery solving, character progression, and player choice to the table.
Set in an alternate post-war divided city, you’ll step into the shoes of Lucas, a detective tasked with unravelling bizarre cases that point to a much larger, sinister conspiracy. But Lucas doesn’t have to rely on traditional sleuthing alone. The game’s standout feature is its crime-scene reconstruction mechanic. Guided by a mysterious force known as the “Shadow,” players can literally witness events unfold in the past exactly as they happened, allowing you to rewind time, inspect hidden details, and piece together complex timelines.
Key Features You Need to Know:
- Rewind the Crime Scene: Use the Shadow’s unique abilities to step into the past, inspect clues in 3D space, and reveal what truly happened at the scene of the crime.
- Meaningful Player Choice: Your decisions carry real weight. How you interact with suspects, piece together evidence, and steer investigations directly impacts the storyline and leads to multiple distinct endings.
- Deep RPG Progression: Customise how Lucas approaches cases. Whether you rely on sharp intellect, silver-tongued eloquence, or raw force, the path to the truth is entirely up to you.
- Striking Visual Style: Explore Dark Tide City’s diverse districts in a stylish 2.5D presentation that seamlessly blends detailed 3D environments with retro-inspired pixel art characters.
Whether you’re looking to scratch that Disco Elysium itch or simply love a well-crafted noir story, Kill the Shadow offers a dark, compelling world full of mystery waiting to be unravelled.
