Shadows and Lies

A great rpg by Kes and Indy. I appreciate the "rush" battle option. It has a sad storyline. It is well made, no bugs or freezes. I recommend giving this game a try!

"Nothing is true. Nothing is forbidden."

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try...

Shadows and Lies is a story-driven role-playing game developed and published by Aldorlea Games that places mystery and character development at the center of its experience.

Players looking for a role-playing experience driven by narrative discovery rather than constant action will find a title designed to reward patience and attention to detail. The story begins with a seemingly straightforward search involving two missing sisters, but the narrative quickly evolves into something more layered and unpredictable. What initially appears to be a personal mission slowly transforms into a wider journey filled with uncertainty, unanswered questions, and shifting perspectives. The game consistently builds intrigue by challenging players to reconsider assumptions. Trust becomes an important theme throughout the experience, and determining who is honest and who is hiding something becomes part of the adventure itself. One of the strongest elements of Shadows and Lies is how it handles storyt…

Good game - lots of battles. I don't like it when there are more characters than the party size allows (personal preference) - this is one of those - it takes the fun away from the game when you have to grind just to level up the additional people. This was a short game - probably only take 4 hours to get through it if you don't grind. Fun for a day - but not the epic story like Aveyond or 3 Stars of Destiny.

I like the visibility off fights and the story line. this my third time playing.
