About this game
Inspired by the classics of the genre, Inherited Shadows weaves a gripping tale about Amanda, a young adult struggling to lead a normal life while haunted by the trauma of her mother’s absence, but on an ordinary morning in 1999, everything will change for her forever.
As a kid, doing gestures in front of a mirror became her best way to stay calm during scary events. Even now, it’s the only thing that can steady her when fear takes over.
Explore a world where tension never goes away. Every step is a life or death decision. Hide, solve puzzles and discover the dark secrets of a cult you were never meant to find. With an oppressive atmosphere, relentless enemies and a disturbing story, this is a true horror adventure.
Amanda won’t always have a way to defend herself… sometimes, silence is her only weapon.
Combat is scarce but intense. Ammunition and resources are limited, turning every encounter into a desperate struggle for survival.
SOME QUESTIONS ARE BETTER LEFT UNANSWERED
Not everything in Inherited Shadows has a logical explanation. Between visions, whispers and fragmented memories, Amanda must confront her own mind as she discovers the truth about her past. But... do you really want to know all the answers? Some truths are more terrifying than ignorance.
Amanda’s past is shrouded in darkness, and only you can guide her through the horror. Explore, survive, and face what lurks in the shadows. Inherited Shadows awaits… if you dare to enter.

DEMO PATCH 1.0
Dear followers,First of all, I want to thank you for adding Inherited Shadows to your wishlist and for playing the demo.The reception so far has been very positive, and I truly appreciate it.A few small bugs were reported thanks to the feedback received, and a new patch is now live fixing the following issues:1. Inventory item viewer issue: When inspecting an item in the viewer, using TAB / Y / Triangle to close it instead of ESC / B / Circle would close only the inventory, leaving the item visible on screen. This has now been fixed.2. Amanda continuing to walk/run after getting scared: If Amanda was startled while walking, her movement could stop while the walking or running animation continued playing. This has been fixed.3. Document folders behaving incorrectly in the item viewer: When inspecting a document, pressing Read while rotating it in the viewer could cause it to appear again in a different position. This issue has now been fixed.4. Getting rid of the metal sheet in the gas station: Sometimes, when removing the metal sheet blocking the way to the gas station, it would still block the way even when it is not visible anymore. This issue has now been fixed.If you see any more errors during your playthrough, please report it along with any additional feedback about your overall experience with the game. Your opinions play a key role in the development of the game so don't hesitate to share them. Thanks and have fun playing!-JuanRead full article on Community Announcements (JuanMaz)AnnouncementsOfficial
