Aw man I actually played Shade! It's when I was getting into IF. That's so cool, I'll have to play it again, but I remember the evening when I played it as really absurd, which was I guess the goal. The creepy watson clips are from a sherlock game where he teleports around? lmao Well you achieved intentional creepiness.
Edit: I played Shade again just now, my warmest recommendations to anyone reading interested in interactive fiction! You can play it online here: https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=hsfc7fnl40k4a30q
