Had a lot of fun playing this game, but definitely preferred the shotgun over the revolver (I am not very precise at aiming). I loved the music and sound effects. The story was good too, but I would have liked a way to skip the cutscenes so I didn't need to watch them each time I loaded up the story. It took a little bit of time to get used to the wall run, because you don't actually stick onto the wall like in most games I play, but it didn't take long to get used to. Apart from that, killing the enemies was very satisfying, and I love all the different mechanics that this game has!

Hey! Glad you liked it!
We're definitely going to add a skip button in the next update - speaking of: you're going to love the next update if you don't like the revolver - new starter weapon has much tighter handling. I sent a video on the discord but, here's a more up to date clip: New weapon implemented for P0.2: Semi-automatic pistol (1911) - Shadows // The Shroud in: Calm Before the Storm by Winnitude!, Cageramnod, Kyron VideoArts (itch.io)
In the meantime until we patch it, if you ever feel like playing more Shadows and not watching the cutscenes, the Level Select will skip the opening cutscene for that mission. It's not a perfect solution as you can't get out to menu once you end the level and start the next levels' opening cutscene, but I hope that in some way that can help you derive more enjoyment from our project.
If you like the game feel free to follow the devlog, we are bringing out tons of new stuff gradually over the course of the next few weeks in patches, bringing this game to the state of a full prototype for the full fat, full length title we plan to turn it into. That includes multiplayer and a bunch more stuff :)
Thanks for playing & thanks for the feedback!
