About
Shadow Mysteries

FORGOTTEN STORIES

Things people stop fearing do not simply disappear.

The Shadow Realm is where discarded myths, legends and old fears learned to exist on their own. Then its living core — the Heartstone — was broken, and the rules holding the world together began to fail.

SURVIVE THE REALM

Every run changes the map. Not the consequences.

Gather, craft, cook, build shelter and decide when to fight. Weather, temperature, darkness, poison, wetness and unstable environments turn survival into more than watching a hunger bar.

THIRTEEN LIVES

One broken world needs more than one survivor.

Unlock thirteen playable characters from different times and places. Each arrives with a personal story, unique strengths and a quest line connected to the fate of the Realm.

02 · SURVIVORS

Thirteen strangers.
Thirteen ways to survive.

Sebastian
THE RELUCTANT SURVIVOR

Sebastian

An office worker who wanted to feel alive. The Shadow Realm took that request far too literally.

Eleanor
THE HERBALIST

Eleanor

Knowledge of plants can save a life here. It can also explain exactly why something is killing you.

Billy
THE MUSICIAN

Billy

Terrified of being forgotten, he lands in a kingdom made entirely from things humanity forgot.

THE PROPHECY CONTINUES

Ten more survivors

Different eras, different worlds, different abilities — all pulled toward the same broken heart.

Never learn the map.

Biomes move between runs, but each keeps its own dangers, resources and rhythm. Choose a region to see what kind of mistake you are walking into.

05 · DAD'S ATTIC

Comics, scraps
& things from development.

The project already has its own little archive. Instead of hiding it on social media, the site can make development feel like a world you keep discovering.

A PERSONAL NOTE

Back to where making games started.

Kapcrew Gaming became a company, but Shadow Mysteries is also a return to the beginning — making games because making them matters. “Dad’s Attic” is the name kept for the part of the project that remembers where that began and the father who helped inspire the path.

Built independently. Built with memory. Built to be played.
