Games The Obsessive Shadow
Narrative ∙ Strategy ∙ SurvivalIn The Obsessive Shadow, you take on the role of Liam, a 9-year-old
boy left alone in his home after the power suddenly goes out, plunging the house into suffocating darkness. Armed with only a flashlight, you must navigate the unsettling dangers of the night as you are being watched throughout the night. Your mother's voice on the phone is your guide to surviving, But as her instructions grow more confusing and the unease deepens, the safety of her words begins to feel increasingly fragile. Something is watching, a shadowy figure moving just out of sight, waiting for you to slip up.
As the hours creep forward, the once-familiar home becomes an
unfamiliar labyrinth of fear, each corner hiding the possibility of
confrontation with the lurking entity.
Testing your courage and instincts as you struggle to stay one step
ahead of the unseen threat. Your mother's voice remains your
lifeline,
but survival demands more than just following her instructions—it
requires vigilance,
quick thinking, and a determination to face the overwhelming dread.
Will you endure the relentless terror and make it to morning, or will
the suffocating darkness claim you before dawn?

TERRIFYING, i love it :3
This game is great with everything that it has to offer. The realism, the story, and basically everything because this game is far from amazing, it’s perfect. 10/10 would recommend to horror lovers like me 👍
Fire game
Sh¡ts tuff
Splendid game
Indubitably exquisite virtual reality horror i am particularly pleased with this project
Drop chapter 2 brah and thanks for commenting on my video on youtube 🤞🤞🤞
Super Scary
This game is super scary, highly recommended. I would love to see this in mixed reality.
The shadows are gone?!
Update:
As there's been no response from the developer yet, I'm going to request a refund. If it's ever updated to put the real time shadows back in I'll purchase the game again.
Original Review:
I played the demo and I was extremely impressed with the real time shadows cast by the flashlight. Few Quest games have lighting this sophisticated. The atmosphere was excellent.
I never imagined an effect like this would be removed in an update, especially in a horror game where real time shadows greatly add to the atmosphere.
It's ironic that a game called "The Obsessive Shadow" had its shadows removed.
If the real time lighting was removed to increase resolution can an option be added to switch back to the lower resolution and keep the real time shadows? A "resolution vs graphical fidelity" switch?
The new lighting model really killed the atmosphere for me. It's not creepy anymore. I was excited to play the full version, but after seeing it now I don't want to.
Glitchy
So, I really like the idea of the game, but overall it's not technically good.
Turning breaks this game, and not in a good way. If you're talking on the phone, or turn next to a wall, you fall in. Once this happens collision decides it's going to hide in the closet without you, as I could no longer walk up stairs, since I kept falling through the floor.
I also noticed is there is no 3D Audio so if you are using headphones, you can't actually hear where the knock is coming from. The TV introduction sounded like it came from outside, and Mom's voice sounded like it was coming through the ceiling instead of the phone.
It's a shame I couldn't make it further then the first window scare, as this game has a lot of promise, but due to the fact that the game breaking bugs prevent playing further, I can't recommend it.
