About Shadows Peak
Shadows Peak is an atmospheric, open-world horror game focused on exploration that doesn't hold your hand.
The main focus of the game is on the atmosphere, story, and exploration. Unlike most horror games, Shadows Peak allows you to explore large environments and progress through the game in a non-linear way.
You play as the writer Tom Blair who has decided to visit a mysterious place called Shadows Peak to gather materials for a new book about legends. A number of people have gone missing in Shadows Peak. Some people claim that they saw something that they shouldn’t have been able to see there and, of course, there are some dark legends surrounding this place.

I brought this one for the full moon emoticon. I wish it came in other shapes and or colors like pink and purple. The other emoticons are mostly spooky season themed and less girlie then the others I recommended. Save this one for a dark stormy night (on sale). I thoroughly enjoyed exploring and it would be better as a duo/co-op especially during the open world part. I would have loved if it changed between night/day with a need for flashlights. Still a lot of mystery with so many places to wander with even with a twist in the mix. The atmosphere is eerily even a little thunder and lightning (wish there was more). For so many reasons, I love they added the lighthouse (surprisingly it is not one of the badges). The jumpscare worked the first time, but as the sound and appearance was the same every time it quickly turned a nuisance to deal with while trying to progress in the game. Mr. X but in 'ghost form'. There was a part I knew there would be a jumpscare and I jumped anyway I agree with the reviews about the direction they went with the horror story and did not care to finish. Depending on your interests you may enjoy their take on it.13 found this helpful

It was okay, but not as good as the most recent games by this developer.
Shadows Peak is a first-person horror adventure developed and published by Gua that focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and mystery rather than relying on constant jump scares or action-driven gameplay. The game places players in the role of Tom Blair, a writer who arrives in the remote region of Shadows Peak to investigate strange local legends and a series of mysterious disappearances. What begins as research for a book soon evolves into a much deeper and more unsettling journey as players uncover hidden secrets buried within the wilderness and abandoned locations scattered throughout the area. One of the game's most notable strengths is its commitment to open-ended exploration. Shadows Peak encourages players to navigate its world with minimal guidance, allowing discoveries to happen naturally. Instead of leading players from one objective marker to another, the game rewards curiosity and observation. Forest trails, forgotten structures, and isolated landmarks often conceal clues that gradually reveal the truth behind the region's dark history. This approach creates a stronger sense of immersion because players feel like genuine investigators piecing together a mystery rather t…
This games plot is WILD. Its so particular and weird that it is...good and bad at the same time. It has its moments but overall it does leave an odd impression. After all Andrii crafted what he knows best, a damn immersive and atmospheric world. Interesting exploration, no handholding and cool points of interest. Im coming from both Witch Hunt and Skinwalker Hunt to check his older entries and i really enjoyed having a sort of clear story to follow instead of being thrown into an open world with a single hunt objective. Its a very short game so i definitely recommend a sale here, if you like his new games youre gonna like Shadows Peak too, otherwise you might wanna check some minutes of a walkthrough on YT before you purchase. Had a good time and thanks for doing your thing! Love the style.
