The structure
at a glance.
A game worth
mapping properly.
Shadorux is building a searchable Shadow-only reference around the game's unusual structure: stage map, route graph, all story paths, endings, characters, bosses, mission objectives, keys, timeline context, and tools that make the branching structure easier to understand than a single static walkthrough.
The project also extends beyond gameplay into the sourced development and promotion archive, documenting the reveal, magazines, E3, advertising, Japanese campaign, launch material, and surviving 2005 web history.
