About The Obsessive Shadow
The Obsessive Shadow is a short survival horror game set in 1986 American Suburbs. You play as 9 year old Liam Robertson. While watching tv, the power mysteriously goes out. You quickly find out that your mother is missing when a strange phone suddenly call becomes your only hope at surviving the night. While only armed with a flashlight and a familiar voice on the phone, you must rely on your eyes, ears, and pure instinct to keep whatever is hunting you away. Every hour that creeps by, the rules for survival change. You must adapt and overcome whatever the night throws your way. IT. IS. HERE. With 3 different endings and multiple achievements to unlock, you must push through and face the darkness. Will the increasingly odd instructions keep you alive? Or will this monster catch you when you least expect it?Created byPablo Heckman

Lovely atmosphere, gets increasingly more difficult as you play. And also more scary. I'm too scared to finish it. One day I will be brave.3 found this helpful
best game if your a shadow and your a little bit obessive...2 found this helpful
Scared the crap out of me in VR. Have heart issues so cant play much. Met the Dev at Akaicon, really cool to talk with.1 found this helpful
Super impressed with how immersed I was into the gameplay. Horror games usually have a hard time putting me into that mental state required to be scared, but I gotta say this spooked me. Nightmare mode was super super difficult and kept me coming back in this addictive cycle. I WILL BEAT IT!!! Excited to see more future installations in this property!1 found this helpful
"I liked it. I was good at it." ~ The Obsessive Shadow, discussing its time haunting a little boy's house.1 found this helpful
One of the best indie horror games I have played ever. Has a good gameplay loop with a solid story with lore behind it that I can really get behind. Has funny ads and a really enjoyable difficulty scale with different endings depending on difficulty. Sometimes the achievements struggle to pop which might be steam so I won't hold them to that. Overall a very solid indie horror game and I am very excited for what Pablo is cooking up with Chapter 2.1 found this helpful
