Shadowkin: The Hollow Town

When Cole rolls into Gloaming Ridge a town cut off from the world, with broken roads and no shadows after dark he figures it’s a quick stop. But the locals look at him like he belongs there. The innkeeper greets him by name. The mirrors bend light in ways that feel wrong. And everywhere he turns, the same warning drifts through the air: you’ve been here before.

Hunting for answers, Cole finds cracks opening under the cobblestones. They lead him to a forgotten lake, an underground crypt, and a girl who shouldn’t exist. Each discovery drags him closer to memories he swore he didn’t have. The town isn’t just keeping secrets it’s built from them.

As time folds in on itself and reality frays, Cole faces the thought that Gloaming Ridge isn’t hiding the truth at all. It is the truth.

But if memory can wound like a blade, who’s holding the hilt?

And how do you leave a place that remembers you better than you do?
