i did it but it says it will take ricks on my pc and it said run away or don't run and i picked don't run way and then it stopped i still need help but if u can help its ok i can find another game ig
Probably the best horror game I've played so far and the graphics are really neat! Are you thinking of making another game with the style like this game and the man from the window?
This was a nice 'n short game. You're really good with writing character dialogue and making them all around likable people, I hope you keep making more games with thicc ass characters whether horror or not.
i was shaking in the final night the whole time and surprisingly beat the game first try with 0 deaths and 0 mad shadows! im not bragging but im gonna say this to the dev: please make it so if the player gets any of this make it so they get 2 stars and not 1 like always! but yeah great game
Very good game! took me a while to understand how to play (I didn't read the controls so that's on me!) played the first night for my 3 Scary Games video. looking forward to playing the full game!
When I download it I get a file in zip form. When I extract it I get 5 files. All of those files dont even let me play the game or they just dont extract. (2 zip files) It keeps saying "The unarchiver is unable to extract this file" Im on mac btw.
hey zeddy i loved the game and it gave me chills but the most best thing about the game is the smiles on the customers faces if you read this i would love to see someone like you make a backrooms game p.s i hope to see it
Not gonna lie man, I see a ton of potential in game developers like you. I really enjoy short horror games like these and I also like your specific style of games, just like the Man from the Window.
i really like the game and its atmosphere but i wanna ask one thing can you make an endless mode so we can enjoy cooking and hiding anytime we want like when the game ends you cant do anything and i really liked the cooking addition and please make this idea come true! i belive in you and the next games you will make
Glad to hear you like the game! A sort of "endless mode" idea has been brought up before. Something similar was actually planned to be in this game, but the idea was scrapped in the end.
While I'm not opposed to such a mode, I usually don't believe in updating my already released games with new content.
On top of this, there are other things I'm currently working on at the moment, so it seems that for now the idea is on hold.
I originally played the man in the window and loved it. I did feel short and a bit easy now looking back at it. Well, this game took to a whole new level. The difficulty was definitely ramped up. The normal mode is perfect because not only do you have to hide you also have to figure out what the people want to eat but also make it! So much going on and it felt like the perfect length. Great job! Overall a great game

I know this is unrelated but it surprises me how popular the man from the window got, many youtubers have been playing it! I guess you're quite lucky.
Is Maude's original name Dolly?
During the early stages of development, yes!
I love this
That's awesome to hear, thank you! :)
:((((((((((((((((
Apologies for the delayed response!
As you can see in the Game Information, the game is for Windows only, so hopefully that's what you're using.
If so, just download the ZIP file by selecting "Download Now" on the game page.
Once downloaded, right-click the ZIP file, then select "Extract All..."
Follow the prompt, then open the newly extracted folder.
There are 5 files in this folder, and to start the game just click the one labeled BewareTheShadowcatcher
If you're still having issues, please just let me know.
omg ty so much
i did it but it says it will take ricks on my pc and it said run away or don't run and i picked don't run way and then it stopped i still need help but if u can help its ok i can find another game ig
The file here on Itch io is safe, which is evident by all the other players.
As long as you've downloaded the real version from here on Itch io, it should be safe to run.
i tried i failed pls someone help i rlly want to play :(((((
how can i even play it pls someone help me
what about the game the bit zero more know
What of it? It should still be up, last time I checked.
If you're inquiring as to the games' story line, all games so far have taken place in the same universe.
Probably the best horror game I've played so far and the graphics are really neat! Are you thinking of making another game with the style like this game and the man from the window?
Thank you so much, it's so great to hear that you've enjoyed this little game.
Thanks for playing!
And yes, I definitely plan to continue on making similar games for awhile.
I'll do my best, and hopefully my future projects can live up to expectations. :)
how can i play and plus i already paid so how can i play pls help me
This was a nice 'n short game. You're really good with writing character dialogue and making them all around likable people, I hope you keep making more games with thicc ass characters whether horror or not.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind compliments. :)
I definitely plan to continue on making these games for awhile, and have no plans to switch from my current artistic styles any time soon.
I ment zed
Yes, I am currently working on another game, and plan to continue on afterwards!
Sadly, this current project is taking longer than I expected.
However, I don't believe in rushing things, so I'll keep working on it until it's ready. :)
great game
Thank you! :)
are you going to make another game dev?
why are the boobs so big please we need answers
my 2nd comment on this game:
i was shaking in the final night the whole time and surprisingly beat the game first try with 0 deaths and 0 mad shadows! im not bragging but im gonna say this to the dev: please make it so if the player gets any of this make it so they get 2 stars and not 1 like always! but yeah great game
Thank you very much for the feedback, and thanks for playing as well. :)
Also, you're probably right about the star part, I'll keep that in mind going forwards.
Alright! If you do make that an update ill try getting the 0 deaths again lol. And im excited on how it will look!
this game and the man from the window are 2 great similar games and i almost got a heart attack when the shadowcatcher ran on night 2 lmao XD
why are your games so good🤯 they are scary yet entice you to be involved and have so much replayability to them
You're too kind, thank you! :)
That's a very nice compliment to give, and I appreciate it.
Such an Epic Game. 4/5
Thank you very much, it's always good to hear a positive review. :)
And also, thanks for playing!
Hey Zed!, I found this game by yours and I decide to check it out it's a good game!, and it reminds me of another horror game, I super like it! 👍
Thank you very much! :)
I'm glad to hear you like the game.
And thanks for playing, I appreciate it.
Very good game! took me a while to understand how to play (I didn't read the controls so that's on me!) played the first night for my 3 Scary Games video. looking forward to playing the full game!
Glad to hear you've liked the game. :)
Thanks for playing.
When I download it I get a file in zip form. When I extract it I get 5 files. All of those files dont even let me play the game or they just dont extract. (2 zip files) It keeps saying "The unarchiver is unable to extract this file" Im on mac btw.
I was excited to play this :')
do you not see the windows logo?
My apologies, but all these games are currently Windows only.
I am currently unable to develop for Mac, and am constrained to Windows only for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid.
Again, I'm very, very sorry to disappoint you. But at the moment it can't be helped, regrettably.
Oh sorry I wasn't aware of that thanks for replying.
Realmente disfrute mucho el juego, me gusta como desarrollas tus juegos 8)
Muchas gracias. :)
Me alegra saber que has disfrutado del juego y te agradezco mucho que lo hayas jugado.
hey zeddy i loved the game and it gave me chills but the most best thing about the game is the smiles on the customers faces if you read this i would love to see someone like you make a backrooms game p.s i hope to see it
That's so great to hear, and I'm glad you've enjoyed the game! :)
While I wouldn't be opposed to a backrooms type game, that's a muddy area when it comes to copyright and such, so I'd rather just avoid it for now.
But, that might change at some point in the future, so you never know.
How do I get in the game I just get the files?
Once you download the ZIP file from the game page, you'll need to extract it.
After you've extracted the files, just click on the BewareTheShadowcatcher application.
It's usually the third file in the folder, by default.
Let me know if you're still having issues. :)
Not gonna lie man, I see a ton of potential in game developers like you. I really enjoy short horror games like these and I also like your specific style of games, just like the Man from the Window.
Thank you very much!
I'll do my best to make sure I can eventually realize my full potential. :)
I love this game thanks for creating I always play it great job:)
Thanks!
Glad to hear that this game works for you.
i love you zed
You're too kind! <3
this is the most yummiest food in all itch.io
you did well good job
That's very kind of you to say! Thank you. :)
love it
Thank you! :)
Is there more than one star to get?
great game though
It's great to hear you've liked the game. :)
And yes, there is. Slight spoiler warning here!
There's a star for the normal ending, and a star for the good ending!i really like how you cook in a certain time because it makes it scary and makes me have some anxiety
Glad to hear you liked that part!
Also, thanks for playing. :)
have a idea for a new game what if you make a game that is conected to the man in the window but you can play as the mom at her work
i would like to see that
i really like the game and its atmosphere but i wanna ask one thing can you make an endless mode so we can enjoy cooking and hiding anytime we want like when the game ends you cant do anything and i really liked the cooking addition and please make this idea come true! i belive in you and the next games you will make
Glad to hear you like the game!
A sort of "endless mode" idea has been brought up before.
Something similar was actually planned to be in this game, but the idea was scrapped in the end.
While I'm not opposed to such a mode, I usually don't believe in updating my already released games with new content.
On top of this, there are other things I'm currently working on at the moment, so it seems that for now the idea is on hold.
I appreciate your interest, though. Thank you. :)
thank you! now i know it is on hold and it will (may) come eventually!
how can i open the actual game file to play the game
First, download the ZIP file.
Then, you'll need to extract the files. This is done by right clicking the downloaded ZIP file, then selecting "Extract All..."
After you extract the ZIP file, click on the BewareTheShadowcatcher application, which is usually the third file in the folder by default.
That should be it.
And again, this is all assuming you're using Windows.
i love the game and can't wait for the next game.
That's wonderful to hear!
And thank you for playing, as well. :)
I originally played the man in the window and loved it. I did feel short and a bit easy now looking back at it. Well, this game took to a whole new level. The difficulty was definitely ramped up.

Thank you very, very much!
I'm glad you liked the game, it really means a lot.
Thanks for playing. :)
holy that was a pretty good game i finished it with normal mode. keep on making this stuff.
Thank you very much, and thank you for playing!
I have more projects planned for the future, hopefully I'll be able to live up to expectations for those as well. :)
hey Zed Technician are you going to make any more of games like these if so, I would gladly play them!
There are many more games that I plan to make.
Perhaps not exactly like this, but all of my games should be within the same vein of sorts.
So hopefully you'll stick around, and hopefully you'll like what's on the horizon. :)
Amazing! Loved everything, especially the ending :)
Thank you!
Your comment is very much appreciated, and I'm especially glad you've liked the ending. :)
I love the atmosphere of your games man its so unsettling
Thank you! It's nice when someone appreciates the atmosphere.
Sound design isn't my forte, but I'm doing what I can to improve. :)
Really good game. I liked the concept.
Thank you very much!
And thanks for playing, as well. :)
This game is amazing with an ending that I really wanna get with good graphics but what happened to The Bit more know
Good to hear you like this one! Thank you.
As for TBMK1, I've restricted access to it because I'm just not happy with it anymore.
Being my first game it has it's fair share of issues, and I think it's not worth playing.
It will most likely return one day as a remaster, but for now it's being swept under the rug.
