From the Shadows is a third person free for all tactical action game about literally hiding within shadows. The objective is to eliminate other players by exposing them from the shadows and murdering them while they take physical form.
Players can use light sources such as lanterns to lower the darkness in an area, but light casts shadows, which means stealthy players can remain obscured from view if they choose their positioning relative to objects in the world wisely. Players have to emerge from the shadows in physical form to hunt one another, however physical manifestations are far slower than players in their shadow forms, they are also visible and vulnerable. A player in physical form will be open to ambush from the back if undiscovered players still lurk in the shadows behind them, meaning players will have to be ultra certain they have cleared the area of any other players before progressing. An undiscovered player who sees a physical players back within a certain range will gain the ability to briefly manifest as a physical shadow hybrid, gaining insane mobility and invincibility for a time, allowing them to rapidly punish a physical player for their ignorance before returning to the darkness.
If however a physical player does locate a hidden player, they can shine light on them to force them out of the shadows whilst completely immobilizing them, allowing the player to execute them in physical form.
