Hey guys, I just wanted to shamelessly announce the release of the Concept Demo for my latest adventure/thriller Shadow Over Isolation. Heavily inspired by the cosmic insanity of HP Lovecraft, visual acuity of Stanley Kubrick and the open game design of the early 90s. A larger part of the focus though is to provide a world that feels both natural and not completely demanding of your attention, allowing you to explore the emergent world at your own pace.

The demo is only an extremely small part of a much larger game I have envisioned. If you have a decent gaming rig and enjoy classic adventure games that don’t hold your hand, then please give it a try!

I’ll be releasing a full video walkthrough later in the week for those that don’t meet the recommend specs for playing the game and still want to see what my game has to offer.

Don’t be afraid to drop some constructive critiques. 90% of the game is made by me, so only so much can be seen objectively between me and my part time team.
