Undershadows is a darkly absurd adventure with a fully hand-drawn world, a unique real-time point-and-click combat system, and a shadow companion with more personality than you might expect. Some places you never forget. Others never let you leave.

πŸ•·οΈ A dark adventure with bite Uncover an absurd, melancholic story about loss, identity, and twisted fates – filled with dark humor, moral gray areas, and nasty surprises.


🎨 800+ hand-drawn scenes Explore a surreal world brought to life by hand – no soulless AI art, just real illustrations shaped by shadow.

βš”οΈ Real-time point-and-click combat React fast to deadly attacks, deflect projectiles, use skills and items – each enemy type brings its own behavior, mechanics, and tricks.

πŸ’€ Nightmarish boss fights with unique flow Face massive shadow creatures that reshape entire levels – complete with special rules, unexpected attacks, and story events mid-battle. No boss is the same. None will go easy on you.

🧠 Train your evolving shadow Your companion is more than a monster – it’s you. Level it up, choose transformation paths (e.g. Nature > Beast > Hydra or Tech > Weapons > Rocket Launcher), unlock new abilities, and define your own combat style.

🎭 The shadows talk – way too much You're joined by a sarcastic, borderline psychotic mask that never shuts up, comments on everything – and might just drive you insane. Maybe.

πŸŒ’ The Shadowlands await Journey through a semi-open world. Forests that breathe. Caves that scream. An ancient castle hidden in the mountains. A cheerful town… A what? Ugh. I hate those red noses.

🧩 Deep sidequests & surreal puzzles Nothing is what it seems. Not even the shadows trying to help you. But is being alone really the better option?

Fascinating drawing, unusual style. I wish you good luck in developing the game, you're doing great. 

The music is incredible and the dynamic trailer is mesmerizing. Very cool!

"Fully Hand drawn world" the thumbnail being AI

(1 edit) (+2)
When I started programming and drawing
the game 7 years ago there were no Ki
generators. That's why the whole game
is hand-drawn, I only tried the
Thumbnail with Ki. Because for many
people the previous one seemed too simple.
When I have time, I'll replace it with something of my own.
I just wanted to test it out and see what people think of it.
I don't see anything bad about it.
But I can understand that it bothers some people.

To be honest, I didn't notice where the artificial intelligence was. But everything looks so harmonious and stylish that it doesn't even matter. 

The main thing is how the developer feels and how he conveys his vision to the players. Even if there is partially or completely artificial intelligence here, it is just a tool for expressing yourself and your thoughts. 

The drawing is really unique and fascinating. Not every person using AI would be able to do this. 

Therefore, respect to the author. Don't listen to anyone and keep creating games the way you know how! You've done well.

reminds me of evil pops from regular show

Quite a unique game! I think it's silly and interesting, but I wasn't really sure what I was doing. Great job with the art and animations though, lots of personality throughout the half hour I played... :)
