Figures Of Shadows

Absolute dogwater, this VN is like a crappy creepypasta

"Figures Of Shadows" isn't a game, it's a cringey non-game fan-fiction e-book that's been dumped on Steam into the games section. As a visual novel, it doesn't have any gameplay. It's just a lot of clicking through bad, cringe dialogue that no real publisher would ever accept. When people can't get their work published in print, they pay the $100 fee to dump their fan-fiction here instead, where we have to put up with it when looking for things that are actual PC games. I think we should at least pause and acknowledge that the author of this CYOA thankfully did not make this an e-book all about his relationship with his imaginary girlfriend. Most non-game e-books on Steam unfortunately cover that topic exclusively, and the cringe is overwhelming. So, gratefully, while this does not cover that topic, it is still unfortunately a poorly written non-game experience about depression, being separated from family, and the horrors of thinking that badly written e-books are the same things as PC games. Visual novels are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Twilight (kidding), but translate it to a format where you've to click…
