Shadowbound

Indie, Platform XS June 10, 2025

Briefing

Shadowbound is a 2D pixel-art horror platformer with multiple chapters.

The first chapter is focused on light mechanics. Some lamps stay forever, others disappear after a few seconds. Stay in the dark for too long and it’s game over.

But the game isn’t only about this mechanic.

Each chapter introduces something new: different gameplay mechanics, enemies, locations and challenges. Some parts focus on horror and atmosphere, others on reaction, precision or exploration.
