Nietzsche's Shadow is a single-player experience with no combat mechanics, focusing instead on exploration, collection, and philosophical choice.
first-person philosophical horror exploration game where you wander through the Alps as Friedrich Nietzsche, confronting your own shadow and collecting pages of your final book.
Wander through the mist-shrouded Alps as Friedrich Nietzsche in this first-person exploration game, haunted by the wind-scattered pages of your final manuscript. Your shadow has taken form, speaking to you with sarcastic provocation, mercilessly exposing your contradictions and suppressed thoughts. What begins as a journey through flowered meadows transforms into a nightmare of twisted realities and philosophical terror.
As you collect the fragments of your work, traverse the breathtaking Alpine paths where Nietzsche himself once walked and developed his revolutionary ideas.
But this journey conceals deeper layers of reality. The truth of your existence may be more disturbing than any philosophical abyss you've contemplated. Are you ready to confront what lies beyond the veil of perception?
Who is this for?
If you enjoyed games like The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide, What Remains of Edith Finch, or Layers of Fear - but wish they had more philosophical meat to chew on.
