About the game

Shadows of the Lost is a dark fantasy soulslike game that combines momentum-based combat, a gripping story, and a unique companion system. Set in a fractured world corrupted by an otherworldly shadow, it features ruins of civilizations echoing with demigods who made deadly pacts with mortal rulers. Traverse desolate landscapes inspired by Norse sagas and Egyptian tombs, unearth relics, forge bonds with companions, and confront the Shadows of The Lost.
