A downloadable prototype for Windows

Spiral of Shadows – First Beta

Spiral of Shadows is a narrative sci-fi adventure where the world reshapes itself depending on what illuminates it, what darkens it, and what resonates with sound. You play as Kael Arven, a traveler who awakens with no memory in a fractured reality trapped in an endless cycle.

Light reveals paths, shadows create threats, and sound activates ancient mechanisms forged in a forgotten era. Every area is a shifting puzzle where your decisions change the architecture around you.

Core Features

  • 🌑 Light / Shadow mechanics – Reveal staircases, weaken enemies, open hidden passages.

  • 🔊 Sound resonance puzzles – Trigger echoes to move structures or awaken mechanisms.

  • 🌀 Atmospheric narrative – Explore a world trapped in an infinite loop.

  • 👤 Playable Beta – Early systems, prototype environments, placeholder assets.

This first beta focuses on environmental interactions, early light mechanics, and the mood of the world. More content, polished animations, enemies and story segments will be added in future builds.
