How it feels

A slow, atmospheric fantasy survival exploration with crafting and dungeon crawling, set in a cavernous world where you piece together a broken ring.

What players say

Players are split on Old Shadow. Some find the exploring surprisingly engaging for a survival crafting game, while others report no clear direction, performance issues like frame rate problems, and a heavy use of AI art. A few note it was created by a 71-year-old developer, a fact that colors some reviews. The game lacks a mini-map.
