Delve into Veiled Shadows, where you manage days, explore dungeons, and fight turn-based battles to uncover secrets across two worlds. Live a month in a mountain town, building bonds and hunting the mystery that awaits.
About this game
Thirty days. A quiet mountain town. Something beneath the surface.
You’re a police intern in Hayakawa for one focused month. Mornings are routine: check in, follow up on calls, document scenes, and handle the small tasks that keep a rural place running. When your shift ends, the clock is yours to manage.
Enter Fragments of a long lost world, sealed away and hidden. Enjoy light puzzles, shifting routes, and systems that demand attention. Defeat enemies by exploiting affinities and use them to your advantage in other battles.
Unveil the past
Take on small jobs, stumble into optional moments, and explore the town and its surroundings. Use local facilities like the gym to raise your stats. Spend each day split into 3 parts: Morning, Afternoon and Night, each offers different opportunities.
Build friendships, manage a finite month
Get closer to friends, uncover their personal stories, and unlock support skills, passives, and special abilities that can swing tough encounters in your favour. Plan your days carefully. Opportunities close, some doors only open once.
Key features
Calendar-driven JRPG structure over a focused 30-day investigation
Police-intern gameplay: ride-alongs, scene work, and everyday legwork
Limited-window excursions into a hidden, rules-bound world
Strategic turn-based combat with affinities and utilizing monsters
Relationship growth that unlocks stories and advantages in combat
After-work free time for friendships, exploration, side jobs, and stat growth
A grounded mystery about responsibility, memory, and what we choose to uncover
Veiled Shadows is a solo dev’s passion project and a quiet fan letter to classics that inspired it, with a look that nods to PS2-era and 3DS aesthetics.
