About this game
Humanity is barely clinging to survival. An ominous moon bleeds in the sky. The screech of mechanical killers echoes over the ruins of cities. Inhuman howls of terrifying monsters can be heard from the forests.
Shadow Pulse is a story-driven survival horror game. You take on the role of Leonard Venturi. A newcomer to a band of marauders and scouts, he has been cast out from the relative safety of the city walls of the survivors' enclave. His squad is tasked with exploring an abandoned institute hidden in the mountains. Finding this place and collecting everything of value sounds like standard procedure.
This mission will be the last for his squad.
A difficult adventure
You will have to use stealth, speed, and a variety of weapons to survive. Your resources are limited, and cunning enemies relentlessly pursue you through vast locations of ruins and dungeons. Various gadgets can bail you out, but they are only a minor help in an unequal fight.
Secrets hidden in the darkness
Explore eerie and unusual locations that survived the end of the world but fell prey to human weaknesses.
Pick locks, crack passwords, and solve logic puzzles to uncover all the secrets of this world. A non-linear storyline adds even more variety to your adventure.
The beauty of decay awaits you
