Hi all!

The Shadowrite official announcement trailer is now live on IndieGamesHub’s youtube channel, with the Steam page also published this morning. Wishlist here 👈

Shadowrite on Steam

Shadowrite is a Voodoo-inspired pixel art JRPG. Two siblings trapped in a spirit town must discover the secrets hidden within six mausoleums to find their way home. Turn based combat, a living town that evolves with you, and rewarding exploration with handcrafted dungeons

You being on this list is part of why I had the confidence to push this thing all the way to now. If Shadowrite still looks like something you'd play, the single best thing you can do for the game is to add it to your wishlist on Steam. I’m grateful you’re here.

Gameplay Highlights

• Mid-battle job-shifting across six unique jobs: Bloodfiend, Dreamweaver, Plaguedoctor, Shadowmancer, Hexer, Puppetmaster, letting you swap the whole-party composition in a single turn (a system originated by Final Fantasy XIII)

• Set in The Crossroads, a spirit town for the dead. Two living siblings (Yunie and Zen) are pulled in during a botched ritual and must clear six elemental mausoleums to return home

• ~100 spirit skills unlocked via weapon leveling (FF9 / Expedition 33 lineage) all catalogued in a Pokédex-style Grimoire

• Living spirit town with full NPC daily schedules, inspired by Majora's Mask

• No quest markers, just clues, secrets, and tavern gossip! Old-school RPG design.

More to come. Closed beta later this year, public demo early 2027.

Talk soon,
