Description
About This Game
Primitive Shades is a first-person, story-driven horror game told across multiple Parts.
The base game includes Part 1: Better Left Abandoned. Future Parts will continue the story as DLC.
BETTER LEFT ABANDONED
You and your friends plan a late-night exploration of an abandoned school.
One by one, they cancel, until only two of you remain.
You head inside alone to wait for your friend.
They never arrive.
As you explore the empty halls, you discover a strange puzzle hidden within the school. Solving it seems harmless at first.
It isn't.
Something has been released.
FEAR TAKES SHAPE
They are called Shades.
Living creatures formed from primitive geometric shapes, the Shades turn the abandoned school into something far more dangerous than you expected.
What they are, why they're here, and what happened inside the school are questions you'll have to answer yourself.
EXPLORE. SOLVE. SURVIVE.
Search the school, solve puzzles, uncover hidden clues, and piece together the events that led to its abandonment.
Exploration and puzzle-solving push the story forward as increasingly dangerous encounters stand between you and the truth.
Every discovery brings you closer to understanding the Shades and why some things were better left abandoned.
