PC demo released for the narrative-focused horror indie FPS Shadow Project

As promised, SK Studios has released a free PC demo for its upcoming game Shadow Project. This is a horror first-person shooter inspired by STALKER and Metro, with a strong focus on story. To celebrate, the team also shared a brand-new gameplay trailer. This trailer shows both new features and older elements, but now everything looks much more polished and closer to the final game compared to the first announcement trailer.

The demo has two full levels and it will give players over an hour of gameplay. It also includes six complete music tracks from the game’s soundtrack. Players can also expect full optimization and UX, as well as a completely customizable gameplay experience. For those wondering, the game uses Unity Engine, not Unreal Engine 5. You can also check out the PC system requirements to see if your PC can handle it.

Shadow Project is set during the Cold War, when the USA and the Soviet Union were in a tense standoff. In the game, you’ll sneak into Soviet land to stop a secret experiment. The levels are designed to feel real and full of detail. You can search every area for supplies and choose how you want to play – fight enemies head-on, sneak past them, or find hidden paths to get around.

Players will use real-life weapons from the Cold War era in many different battles. They’ll explore large, open areas and scary underground tunnels. They’ll also have to carefully manage their ammo and supplies. Plus, they can add special parts to their weapons to change how they play the game.

SK Studios was planning to release Shadow Project in 2025. However, it has decided to delay it until 2026. Right now, there is no specific ETA on when it will come out.
