About Kill The Shadow

Kill The Shadow is Shadowlight’s detective RPG, published by Phoenix Game. You play Lucas, a former officer walking the divided streets of Dark Tide City with a Shadow clinging to his back. The creature reads memories and reconstructs traces of the dead, so each case can be seen as it unfolded.

Investigations run through distinct districts: a shuttered factory of rusting steel, the stilts of muddy Shipwreck Wharf, the floating slum of Pig Cage Walled City where neon meets older Chinese tradition, and the crowded Old Town. You gather, analyze and connect clues on your own trail. Strength, Spirit and Charm can be raised as you like. Approaches shift with the room: mind games, greased palms or a harder confession. Residents wear masks worth peeling back, from Captain Theo and Axel Flint to Kiki, Mrs. Reed, Auntie Bass and Chiffon. Multiple endings follow the choices you make.
