Shadowkin: The Hollow Town

When Cole arrives in Gloaming Ridge—a forgotten town with no cell signal, no clear roads out, and no shadows after dusk—he thinks he’s just passing through. But the townsfolk act like they’ve seen him before. The innkeeper knows his name. The mirrors don’t reflect quite right. And every corner of the town whispers a single warning: you’ve been here before.

As he searches for answers, strange cracks form beneath the cobblestone streets, leading him to a forgotten lake, an underground crypt, and a girl who shouldn’t exist. Each step forward threatens to unearth a memory he never meant to find. The town isn’t just hiding secrets—it’s built from them.

With time looping, reality shifting, and his own mind betraying him, Cole must confront the terrifying possibility that the truth isn’t buried in Gloaming Ridge. It is Gloaming Ridge.

But if memory is a weapon… who’s really holding it?

How do you escape a place that remembers you better than you remember yourself?
