In The Obsessive Shadow, you take on the role of Liam, a 9-year-old boy left alone in his home after the power suddenly goes out, plunging the house into suffocating darkness. Armed with only a flashlight, you must navigate the unsettling dangers of the night as you are being watched throughout the night. Your mother's voice on the phone is your guide to surviving, But as her instructions grow more confusing and the unease deepens, the safety of her words begins to feel increasingly fragile. Something is watching, a shadowy figure moving just out of sight, waiting for you to slip up. As the hours creep forward, the once-familiar home becomes an unfamiliar labyrinth of fear, each corner hiding the possibility of confrontation with the lurking entity. Testing your courage and instincts as you struggle to stay one step ahead of the unseen threat. Your mother's voice remains your lifeline, but survival demands more than just following her instructions—it requires vigilance, quick thinking, and a determination to face the overwhelming dread. Will you endure the relentless terror and make it to morning, or will the suffocating darkness claim you before dawn? Created by Pablo Heckman
