Play as a stickman in this comedic RPG

Shadows Over Loathing is an entertaining adventure game where players can explore a mix of RPG and puzzle-solving elements. In this indie title from Asymmetric, you will have to explore a black-and-white world where mobs, monsters, and other mysterious secrets roam about.

Similar to West of Loathing, which is from the same developer, Shadows Over Loathing makes use of stickman figures to portray the story and also employs comedic elements and wacky situations that you wouldn’t expect. There’s also quite a bit of exploration for you to do as you complete certain quests.

A black-and-white world

Shadows Over Loathing presents a unique take on your typical point-and-click games. As already mentioned, you will have to perform a number of different tasks and collect items that you can make use of along the way. However, some of these items can be used in hilarious ways and can lead to unique outcomes. Don’t worry about making any mistakes, though, since you have unlimited chances to try again.

This RPG features a large in-game world with various interactive elements and a number of characters you can either befriend or engage in turn-based combat with. Although the game mostly revolves around humorous situations, you can still expect a gripping plot that reels you in and allows you to enjoy a 1920s setting. As previously mentioned, all of this will be portrayed through plain, stickman drawings.

While the art style isn’t quite robust and can make it a little difficult to spot certain elements— especially with minimal use of colors—you can still enjoy some fun ways to customize your characters to add some life to the game’s visuals. Make sure to keep in mind that you’ll need a 64-bit processor and operating system to run the game.

Simple yet full of laughs

Overall, Shadows Over Loathing presents an entertaining adventure game that’s not too complicated, but still provides unique ways to enjoy it. With various quests to complete and a sizable map to explore, you’ll be able to meet a number of fascinating characters and collect special items. However, the black-and-white format can be quite confusing when trying to differentiate certain items.
