New Mode in Development — Play from Solo!
Cross Novaris Studio
We are currently developing a new mode for SHADE WALKERS that can be played starting with just one player.
In this mode, you will be able to start a match even when playing alone, with bots filling the remaining slots.
The core SHADE WALKERS experience will remain intact: explore the school, search for items and dolls, offer them at the altar, survive the anomalies, and escape.
The goal is to keep the existing gameplay while making it much easier to jump into a match with fewer players.
We are also creating a new, more compact map specifically designed for this mode.
Development is currently focused on the new map layout and adjustments for bot gameplay.
We want you to be able to enter the world of SHADE WALKERS whenever you feel like playing — even if you're on your own.
We'll share more updates as development continues.
