Somewhere In The Shadow truly is the one of the best games ever produced by human hands, I wish I could experience this masterpiece again. Quote from a Expert player: "I'm just speechless" This game from start to finish leaves you with a constant feeling of dread and terror as you progress through the masterfully crafted environments, as you do this you become so immersed that you begin to believe that your own IRL heart beat may trigger the monsters. and speaking of monsters, the monster designs and behaviors in this game truly showcase the massive intelligence of the of the dev as only a god-like being could create something so good. Overall, this game should be taught in every school, collage and university and will be remembered eons into the future.
