How it feels
A grim yet charming platformer that demands sharp reflexes as you guide a small reaper through a beautifully hand-drawn, atmospheric otherworld.

What players say
Players describe The Shadowland as a punishing platformer where one touch kills you, with hitbox issues and repetitive level design wearing down patience. Many say it is tedious and not worth full price, and some only picked it up for trading cards at a steep discount.
