What players say
Players describe Shadwen as a pure stealth game where time only moves when you do, with a rewind mechanic that removes frustration. Some find the story bland and the physics janky, while others praise the creative stealth tools and the escort system that never penalizes you. It's a short game at about 6-7 hours per playthrough, and players recommend playing lethal for more fun.
