Five O’Clock Shadow

Welcome to Five O’Clock Shadow! It’s a very cool game totally not buggy (100%) and definitely not written at 11 PM.  (see, dad its 11:09 PM so its fine)

Lore

You are someone’s shadow. Your job? Complete tasks while nobody’s looking if anyone notices something off, you lose. For example, if someone realizes your humans shadow is missing or acting weird, game over.

Improved Concept

You’re the shadow of a forgetful office worker. They constantly misplace things, and it’s your job to help by grabbing the shadow of the item and slipping back into position before anyone notices. But be careful leave your person without a shadow for too long and you’ll be “fired” from your shadow job. No shadow salary means no rent in Shadow Land and you lose your house your husband/wife the kids, you are homeless, and are hungry, and have not charizma and not
