Shadow frequency

August 17, 1997. You wake in a sealed bunker. The emergency broadcast says one thing: AVOID ALL SHADOWS.

Shadow Frequency is an interactive analog horror experience presented as a recovered VHS tape from 1997. You are the last person in a military bunker, and something has gone very wrong on the surface. The shadows have become alive — and humanity has lost.

Every choice matters. Explore the bunker, descend into a secret underground laboratory, escape to the ruined surface, negotiate with the shadow entities, or uncover the government conspiracy that started it all. Your decisions branch into wildly different storylines across 40+ scenes.

20 UNIQUE ENDINGS — From cosmic horror to bittersweet hope. Discover what happened to humanity through endings like "The Shadow Prophet," "Eternal Dawn," "The Wall of Souls," and "The Door Between Worlds." Each ending reveals a different piece of the truth.

FULL VHS AESTHETIC — Scanlines, tracking glitches, chromatic aberration, and static bursts. Every frame looks and feels like a degraded tape from the late '90s.

BRANCHING NARRATIVE — Your choices unlock hidden paths. Find items like a flare gun, hazmat suit, and night-vision goggles that open new options. Talk to survivors. Read classified documents. Negotiate with the darkness itself.

ATMOSPHERIC HORROR — Generative ambient drone music that shifts based on danger level. Shadow entities with glowing red eyes materialize on screen. Classified government documents. Emergency broadcasts. The dread builds with every click.

CUTSCENES — Emergency Broadcast System interruptions, classified document reveals, shadow attack sequences, and global infection maps that track the spread of darkness across the planet.

INVENTORY & FLAGS — Items you find change which choices are available. Information you learn opens new dialogue paths. Multiple playthroughs reveal the full story.

No jumpscares rely on loud sounds. The horror is atmospheric, narrative, and psychological.

Headphones recommended.
