A Point & Click Horror Adventure for Windows.
Exclusive to Game Geeks News we bring you another great gaming project coming soon to Kickstarter. ChelseaGrinEden, (Memmingen, Germany), The Developer will be launching a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, to attract investments for the ongoing development of Undershadows.
The game is still under development, but to give you an idea, of how the game will look, you can check out a demo of Undershadows currently available on Steam.
One day the light appeared, and out of it the shadows were born. Creatures born of light and banished to the eternal depths of darkness. For a long time, these shadows lived in peace with each other, but the shadows loved the light too much, they began to get addicted to him…
And so began a war for the dominion of the great light… But there was neither a loser nor a winner. The light disappeared in a massive explosion and the light shattered in millions of millions of pieces and spread throughout the shadowlands.
Thousand years passed and the kingdom of shadows learned to live without light, until that day. You’re a kid who loves to play video games. But one day everything changed. You are dragged into a strange world. Now our story begins.
Progress so far:

The only thing to do now Is to work on the individual scenes one after the other. which still takes a lot of time. But the programming itself is almost complete.
