The Obsessive Shadow News

Preorders Open on Itch.io!

[h2]I have officially opened pre-orders for The Obsessive Shadow for Steam and Oculus/Meta Quest! You can pre-order a copy on itch.io for only $9.99! This will give you access to both the Steam and Meta Quest Version for the price of one copy upon purchasing as an early access perk, so preordering before launch gets you both the Meta Quest and PC/PCVR Versions included for the price of buying it on only one platform! This will go on until release, so be sure to take advantage of it while you can!

Pre-order here![/h2]

Demo Hotfix

[h2]Just putting out a quick hotfix for the demo! Here are the changes:

- Fixed a credits and logos/text issue on the main menu where things would overlap or not display correctly

- Improved the demo ending slightly

- Enabled vsync (Rejoice!)

Enjoy!

New 2025 Demo + Development Update

[h3]Hey everyone! There's a new demo available now on Steam and Meta Quest! But the even more exciting news is you no longer REQUIRE a VR Headset to play it! That's right! The Demo now supports Non VR in Flat mode like a standard PC Game would! This includes full controller Support!

Here are the full Patch Notes:

- Added Difficulty System featuring Easy, Normal, and Hard Difficulty settings
- Improved battery indicator on flashlight
- Added Flat mode support for Non VR Users
- Improved bHaptics Integration
- Added some new music
- fixed some bugs
- Added some more animations to that thing in the window...
- Added [REDACTED] (Beat the demo to find out!)

Development Update:

Ok so I know I keep releasing demos in promise of the full release, but I am happy to say the game is nearly complete! It's all bug fixes and polishing at this point! I'm going to get a release date announced as soon as I feel it's ready for it. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch and announce a release date then crunch to meet it, so once the build is complete and ready for the public (which should be pretty soon), I will announce a release date with a cool trailer planned :)

In the meantime, hope you guys enjoy this short new demo, and I look forward to talking more about the full release soon :)

The Obsessive Shadow is coming to Consoles!

[h2]Yes! It's true, The Obsessive Shadow is releasing on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5 this year! Launch will first happen for Steam and Meta Quest. Switch, and PS4/5 will come shortly after! I am looking into Xbox Series X|S but nothing is confirmed yet for that! Stay tuned as the Playstation Wishlist page is coming soon :)

Regarding PSVR, it will first release on Playstation Consoles in non VR Mode only, with a PSVR mode expected to release shortly after, but it is a priority to support PSVR on Playstation so keep that in mind!

I hope you are all as excited as I am about this news, I look forward to sharing more in the near future :)
