V1.1 IS OUT, YEEHAW.  A change log is provided with the game if you want to have a complete breakdown of what to expect!

Welcome to SHADOW PUPPET, a short horror game made by one guy: me! I came up with the idea for this game randomly while at work, and then spent the next month developing it to completion; very much a spur of the moment thing.

The premise is very simple: You wake up in a familiar place and must find a way out. Light is scarce, and your only friend. Something lurks in the dark, like an unseen shadow. Can you escape this nightmare? Be careful, your hunter matches your every move.


What this game offers:

  • Dark atmosphere
  • Lingering dread
  • Constant feelings of vulnerability
  • Physics-based interactions
  • Semi-Procedural level generation
  • Something right behind you
  • A normal mode for a normal
  • A hard mode with added challenge and collectibles hidden in plain sight
  • ~Hidden Lore~
  • Around 30 minutes of playtime
  • One or two endings
  • Clean walls


What this game DOESN'T offer:

  • Loud noises
  • Cheap scares
  • No bugs (I can miss things during testing lmao, but I'm trying my best!)
  • A checkpoint system (It's short enough that it doesn't need one)
  • The game's directory contents remaining unchanged (Check horrorproject_Data after playing on Paranoia mode)
  • Free hugs (Sorry)
  • Hand-holding (I'm not your mother)
  • Breakfast in bed

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy your experience with my game!
