About this game
In 'SameShadow,' you'll step into a world where extraordinary powers of teleportation, matter manipulation, and time-bending abilities await your awakening. As an enigmatic and formidable force against invading armies, you'll embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries shrouding your homeland.
Engage in relentless third-person hack-and-slash combat, wielding a razor-sharp sword or relying on your bare fists—it's a choice that will define your path. But here's the twist: you possess unparalleled powers of teleportation that turn the tide of battle. Blink behind enemies for surprise attacks, transform everyday objects into lethal projectiles, and execute devastating takedowns in the blink of an eye.
Your journey begins in a city gripped by turmoil, where a relentless pursuit is underway to locate 'the Shadow.' The Spanish government, complicit in the conflict orchestrated by external forces, aids in the relentless hunt for the Shadow. The people are caught in the crossfire as they're evacuated amidst chaos, and soldiers show no mercy in their search for 'the Shadow.'
As you progress, your powers will evolve through a skill tree, offering an array of skills and attacks—both ranged and close combat. Master the art of ragdolling your enemies through a variety of abilities. Manipulate matter to your advantage, and unlock a torrent of powers that will reshape the battlefield.
Yet, each stride toward mastery comes at a cost. The very teleportation abilities that empower you carry a dark secret—a relentless, debilitating force that grows stronger with every awakening. The truth behind this enigma remains concealed, revealed only with time.
In this gripping narrative, you'll be thrust into a world teetering on the brink of disaster, where shadowy forces are pitted against each other, and alliances crumble in the face of hidden agendas. Your quest for answers will be marked by challenges and revelations that will leave an indelible mark on your journey.
'SameShadow' isn't merely a game; it's an odyssey through time, power, and humanity's darkest depths. Will you harness your abilities to protect your homeland, or will you wield them to challenge the forces that seek to control it?
The shadows hold secrets that only you can unveil. Step into the darkness and become the legend in 'SameShadow,' where the story unfolds in a world gripped by chaos and intrigue.

Skill tree and complimentary abilities Showcase!
It's now fully Integrated! Skill tree (J) will now be available during gameplay. It will Not Pause your game so be careful when you stop to check them out. You'll be able to Awaken powers within you by holding "F" over a skill that's accessible, and spending the necessary "Awaken Points". Awaken points will be given as you level up although some can be found through exploration. (Red Auras are Healing, Golden are Awaken Points) You'll earn Experience as you defeat enemies. ---The last two abilities that will be added this week will be Time Dominion and Vanish. -Time Dominion: Slow down time around you at your will. Tare your enemies apart without them being able to put much resistance. This extreme exertion will drain half your Current Health, and exhaust 50% of your Max Energy + Your Base Energy. This can exceed your Exhaustion Max so be careful. -Vanish: At Close to Mid range leach a percentage of the targeted Enemy's current health and make them Vanish... somewhere. There is a chance they will Resist you. You'll need to reduce a Boss's Health by Half to be able to attempt this ability on them. Tougher enemies have a higher chance to resist just like with Tele Takedowns, but you can Awaken your Luck to not only increase your chances for success in these abilities, but to land Melee and Bullet Critical Damage as well. Ability Slots You'll be able to equip 4 abilities at a time, being able to switch back and forth between the 7 that require a slot. These abilities are: Time Dominion, Particle Acceleration, Rage, Rapid Regeneration, Reduced Friction, Bullet Rush and Vanish. (Gameplay video/trailer has been updated to reflect the added abilities. Please check it out) You will not require an Ability slot for Knife Throw, Tele Jump or Sword Master but for the last option you will require your Sword. ---- I hope you enjoy as this will be one of the biggest Demo updates in a while. There will still be patches based on feedback, but no further Updates have been planned. Th...Read full article on Community Announcements (GrandPaw Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
Particle Acceleration and Bullet Rush
Particle Acceleration and Bullet Rush have been added inside training grounds and will also be available to use in the last map in the demo. Currently, you can access them by pressing 2 (Particle Acceleration) and 6 (Bullet Rush). -Particle Acceleration is a Short-Mid Range attack that blows a targeted enemy back dealing Ragdoll Damage and of course, ragdolling the enemies giving you some precious time. --The Range and Width of this attack can be updated to be able to better "catch" the enemy at close range. --Upgrading Ragdoll Damage Passive skills will not only increase the Damage dealt by this ability, but also anything else that deals Ragdoll Damage, such as Counters and Run Melee Attacks. -Bullet Rush is a Mid-Long Range attack. This is the longest ranged Ability. Uses the remaining bullets you have by a count of 10, and hurls them at an aimed enemy using up your Energy per amount of bullets you have. This can deal a great deal of Damage all at once if you plenty of unused bullets. It can also completely exhaust you so be careful. --The Range and Damage of this skill can be updated. --Great choice for those focused on Melee build but would still want to have a long range option. -------------- The next two abilities that will be added to the Demo will be "Vanish" and "Time Dominion". Working on an option to have Skill tree available in the Demo.Read full article on Community Announcements (GrandPaw Games)Patch NotesOfficial
