This game is deep. It will pull you in different directions and, tug at your heart strings. Just like the comment down below you should play both sides so, you can get the prespective of both characters. This is actually my second play through of this game as, I have played it before on my main channel but, thought I would play it on my second channel that has no commentary. I'm glad to see this being popular again as, it's really a well made visual novel.
I think everyone should play both sides to the story. Even though a lot of the dialogue is the same, you really don't know the two characters unless you play the game multiple times through their eyes. It really humanizes them. Good job!
This is a really good game! I played Shelby's side of the story and I liked how it went into her past and emotions on the situation at hand. I can't wait to play Dustin's side next! Good job!
Beautiful little story, very human and touching. Agree with the commenter below that it is sometimes hard to see who is talking. Still, nice atmosphere.
The game is really a nice one. Especially enjoyed during a brisk evening on the shore :)
My only suggestion is to better underline the owner of the words/thoughts, because at night scenes and dimmer display, I struggle to see where the text box points to.
This game was simple, yet so interesting and well written. I love the art (especially their expressions and the lighting) and the dialogue. It was cool how you get to see from both their perspectives. Had to replay it multiple times, just because it was so atmospheric.
The game is so good , I never played something like that here,and I really really wanna to take some money to this , but I can´t , but that game deserve more lot of players and all my friends will find this game... Nice I really like that
It's a bit limited in quantity, but I really liked both the art style and the writing of the story. Some of the interactive parts have nicely tough replies to choose from. I'd like to invite your game to take part in this year's Game Development World Championship!
I really, really enjoyed this game! It was short, but that's what I expected. The length did not subtract from the overwhelmingly great quality of the game. I love the option of choosing which character you hear the story from, and the dialogue all around was concise and relatable. When I went into the game I expected a thrilling zombie story, but left with a new view on how to live life... and maybe a minor fear of the apocalypse. All in all, a really nice short visual novel. Great quality for the non-existant price!
I recorded my playthrough here - I'm not great at voice-acting, but I tried my best. Keep making great visual novels like this one! I'll be sure to play them someday :)
I haven't played through all the ends quite yet, but I've gone ahead and played once through the pov of both the characters and I enjoyed it to no end, I have to say! It was bittersweet to say the least and I'm glad that you picked to show that even in a bad time like this there's still nice people. The beginning was quite awkward and I gotta hand it to you for being pretty realistic with that. And ahh, I can't not gawk at the art and the pretty colors and their expressive...well, expressions. Plus, knowing so little and yet so much about the two protagonists just adds to the game.
Excuse my incoherent rambling, but honestly, loved the game to bits!
I loved this game. My favorite thing about this game is that you get to see the thoughts of both characters. I loved how one ending for each character is nice in a way and makes you wonder what happened. On the other hand, the "bad" ending makes you think what you could have done to avoid this. Especially with the "good" ending, I can't help but wonder the fate of these two. I wonder if it all led to the "bad" ending or if something else happened. Either way, this game is wonderful but, I do wish it wouldn't have left us on a cliff hanger.
Hey there! I'm having trouble launching the game. I've got Windows 7, and when I double click the file to run it, my computer asks me permission (so I know it acknowledges the input), but when I say yes, nothing happens. Does anyone have insight into this? I'd really love to play this.
If it's a school issued computer it won't work right away. It'll say "From an unidentified developer" or something. So, after opening the zip file, a folder appears. Open it and pull out the app that says "Shadows." Next, right click on the app and open package contents. Copy "Contents." Create a new folder, titled whatever, and 'Paste item" (Command c, command v works fine.) Next, rename the folder to whatever.app and click add. Then you have to drag it back to the folder and open it from there. :) Hope this helps.
Outstanding little game, with such great graphics and facial expressions and the music was excellently done! Cant wait to go and record episode two and see the other side of this journey from the other characters eyes. Amazing 4 days work!

The story is great. I enjoyed all of it. It was short but interresing !
That was pretty relatable (despite...you know: all that end-of-the-fucking-world stuff) and enjoyable. Thanks for that ride <3
This was an interesting short story. I enjoyed most of it, while I played it through the girls eyes.
The game is really good. İt has an absolutely great story and art style. I had a lot of fun. I just think there should be more choices.
I've downloaded the game, but i cant figure out how to play it. Any help?
Open it with winRAR, than double click Shadows.exe.
I love this. They really made a good thing out of a bad situation.
Beautiful little story, very human and touching. Agree with the commenter below that it is sometimes hard to see who is talking. Still, nice atmosphere.
This was an interesting experience. We enjoyed it very much.
Here is a short video we made while playing:
Keep up the good work!!Loved it! Really made me feel for the characters and somehow found them relatable. Wish you would continue this story.

Ahh that was a very beautiful game. It was short but also very sweet.

Short but deep, nice job devs
Quite a good game, Enjoyed it. (A bit to short)

Loved it. Thank y'all so much for making this game. I loved the somber, muted, introspective, melancholy atmosphere.
loved it

It was short and cute. Cute story, adorable art.
Wasn't too long, but I actually really liked it!
Is there a way to turn off the annoying digital beeping noise that sounds when the text is being typed in the speech bubbles?
liked-it
I really liked this, thanks
This game does not want to run on Mac OS High Sierra 10.12.6?? Downloaded and can't get it to run.

I can't either.

xD
IKR! That's all that matters!
Oh my gosh, I loved this visual novel, and can't wait to ;lay it through the woman's eyes in the future!
