Village of Shadows
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to the Village of Shadows, a place where nightmares come to life. In this spine-chilling horror game, you play as an explorer who has stumbled upon a mysterious well in a creepy old village. But as you begin to explore, you quickly realize that you're not alone. Horrifying monsters lurk around every corner, and they're immune to bullets.
But don't lose hope just yet. You have one weapon that can stop them - your trusty old camera. By using the camera's flash, you can blind the monsters and reveal their weak spots. Once the weak spots appear, it's time to take aim and shoot them down before they can get to you. But be warned - the monsters come in waves, and they're relentless.
The Village of Shadows is a wave-based game, meaning that you'll need to survive multiple waves of monsters in order to progress. And whatever you do, don't shoot the bell in the well unless you're ready to face the ultimate challenge.
Controls:
Movement - Use the W, A, S, and D keys on your keyboard to move your player through the village.
Camera and Gun - To switch between your camera and your gun, simply right-click your mouse. This will toggle between the two modes.
Shooting and Flashing - Use the left-click button on your mouse to shoot your gun and take down the monsters. To blind the monsters with your camera flash, click down the left-click button while in camera mode.
That's it! The controls for Village of Shadows are simple and intuitive, making it easy to jump right in and start exploring the creepy old village. With a bit of practice, you'll be taking down monsters and ringing the bell in no time.

Interesting premise and amazing atmosphere, yet the mechanics are too hard!
I enjoyed the overall look of the game. It definitely has a potential to be bigger and better. I think if you can balance the system of the gun and the camera, it would provide the player with a more satisfying gameplay.
Another thing is the speed of the player. Sometimes you get attacked by the creature and once you try to run away or reload it makes things difficult.
In the end, it was quite fun. Best of luck with the future developments.
Thank you so much for trying the game, that was a really entertaining video to watch lol.
It's true, the game is very unbalanced unfortunately. I ran out of time and I couldn't test the game properly that's why + this is the first time I see this animation bug.
And the reason why you walk slower when you're in aiming mode, is because originally the camera mode was more like a defense mode, when you're using the camera you can see better and you move a lot faster , but the aiming mode is quite the opposite, so you have to know when it's the right time to switch to aim mode and start shooting because you will vulnerable
I'm definitely releasing a new version fixing the difficulty issue, adding more monsters, adding more power ups like increasing the player speed while aiming and fixing the weird bugs.
Your feedback back was incredibly helpful 🤍.
