Greetings players,

We are more than happy to announce that Kill the Shadow, a suspenseful detective role playing game set in a post-war divided city has launched its free demo on Steam!
In this game, you will take on the role of Detective Ah Guang, using their wit, eloquence, and unique ability to revisit crime scenes through shadows (and even resort to violence) to solve mysterious cases and uncover a shocking secret.

Hints and Evidence
Freely choose to enhance your abilities—strength, spirit, charm—and select your own methods to investigate cases—psychological warfare? Bribery? Or simply beating up suspects? Deduction System: Collect, analyze, and connect related clues to create your own unique investigation path!

Seeing the Past
"The Shadow", a strange creature attached to you that reads memories and reconstructs the traces of the deceased!
"Don't worry, Ah'Guang, we're just using each other. You use me to find the culprit, and I, well, I love tasting those bizarre stories, hahaha!", says the Shadow.

The Ways of the World
Meet various characters in the city: the energetic girl with a camera, the elegant Mrs. Ruan, the rumored goddess who can cast spells, and the elderly fish-selling lady. Discover the stories behind them. Encounter characters like the self-righteous Captain Wang, Lao Citou's son Xiao Citou, the foul-mouthed Little Rascal, and the deceased Master Ruan. Earn your favorite characters' hearts by numerous events!

Retro and Neon
The combination of 3D environments and 2D pixel characters creates a unique artistic style with a striking contrast between modern and retro. Explore a variety of diverse and freely explorable scenes: the dilapidated steel forest factory, the muddy shipwreck dock built on water, the Zhulong Walled City blending the fictional traditional Ma Island and Imperial culture, and the bustling old city district.
