About Temple of Shadows

Embark on an epic adventure as Sebastian Harrington, a passionate archeology grad student turned explorer, in search of his missing professor. Six weeks ago, Dr. Albert J. Montgomery III announced the discovery of a hidden temple, but he never returned. Now, Sebastian must dive into ancient temple ruins, solve intricate puzzles, and uncover hidden secrets. Will you reveal the mysteries within the Temple of Shadows?

STORY AND GAMEPLAY

Navigate the enigmatic Temple Ruins and unlock the secrets of the Temple Gate. Venture into the labyrinthine caves beyond, a realm filled with ancient mysteries and hidden dangers. Your mission: uncover the truth and track down the elusive Dr. Montgomery. Embark on this thrilling adventure and face challenges that will test your courage and wits at every turn. Can you reveal the secrets that lie within?

PUZZLES AND SECRESTS

Prepare to engage your mind with intricate puzzles that will challenge your every move. Manipulate buttons, doors, and moving panels to unlock pathways and reveal hidden secrets.
Harness the power of light machines and light collectors to illuminate your path.

BEWARE OF DANGERS

Along the way, discover hidden passages and collect rare artifacts, each holding secrets that could aid you on your quest—or uncover a deeper mystery. But tread carefully. The temple is alive with dangers: shifting walls, treacherous traps, and ominous shadows waiting to ensnare the unwary. Every step forward could be your last. Will you brave the unknown, or will the temple claim you as its next victim?

CHALLENGE YOUR MIND AND UNCOVER THE SECRETS

Each puzzle is a test of your ingenuity, designed to challenge your wits and reward your determination. Hidden within the temple's depths are secrets and collectibles waiting to be uncovered by those clever and persistent enough to seek them out. Solve ancient puzzles, unlock forbidden chambers, and piece together the story of the shadows. Will you rise to the challenge and unravel the temple’s mysteries, or will its secrets remain buried forever?

COLLECTABLES AND SPEED-RUN MODE

Uncover the mysteries of Temple of Shadows by collecting hidden relics, including ancient Drawings, Gold Statues, and the Professor's personal belongings. Each item reveals a deeper layer of the story and the madness lurking within the temple. For the ultimate challenge, test your skills in Speedrun challenge—perfect your path, solve puzzles with precision, and race against the clock to set your best time. Can you conquer the shadows faster than anyone else? 

EXPLORE AND DISCOVER

Look for new pathways to uncover hidden areas and unlock the temple's most guarded secrets. Every step off the beaten path could lead to rare and valuable items, rewarding the bold and curious. Will you uncover treasures long forgotten, or leave them hidden in the shadows? The choice is yours.

A TEST OF WITS AND SANITY

Temple of Shadows will push your ingenuity to its limits while keeping you on edge at every turn. The uncertainty of what lies ahead—be it danger, mystery, or madness—might unravel your resolve before you ever find your way out. Do you have the strength to face the unknown, or will the shadows claim your mind?

When you like escape games this wil disapoint you. seems like after 40 min zou still doing the same things, serching for items and place them in the ovious spot. also the games framerate drops to 16fps on my notebook on 720 only. other games with way better grafiks run on 1080p with 60fps no problem. so somehow the game does not fit my computer. but this can be only my problem and on others is okay idk.

The game is pretty short but quite ok. The vocalisation is mostly very weak. The puzzles are pretty nice. These jumpscares are really annoying which makes the game rather annoying. The story pretty much doesnt interest me. For a little puzzle game its ok and its FREE. I can recommend it.

I would like to say that this is a good game, but that would be stretching the truth beyond the boundaries of truthful elasticity. Quite a lot of the graphics are crappy, running straight through trees, rats disappearing straight into stone flooring, me having to turn my graphics game quality right down to minimum despite that my device has EASILY handled games with MUCH better graphics than this game. Then there's the mouse/controller issue with throwing items. You're supposed to click LMB (left mouse button) once to pick up an item. That's fine. And twice to throw it. I've found to be rather "sticky" at times and when you do double click, if you click too fast, the rock or item just drops, if you click too slow, the rock or item doesn't thrown at all. And then there's the whole game freeze when I get to right near the end. I happened to light the orb above the room where the wrapped body (I'm assuming my uncle) is, and when I did, the game totally freezes and about the only thing I can do, is jump. Can't move, can't use mouse interaction. Thankfully, this game was FREE! Because I would DEFINITELY be demanding a refund!

I really wanted to give this a chance, but I couldn't. Straight away the voice acting was pretty bad, which I was able to forgive. But then you have random jumpscares ruining the atmosphere, a fire torch with particles that constantly get in your way whenever you move, no FOV slider...the straw that broke the camel's back for me was the endlessly spawning spiders during one part of the tutorial, which just made me want to stop. It's a shame, because I really liked the idea, and the character artwork is really nice.
