About the Game

Beneath Her Shadow is a psychological horror erotic visual novel where memory, guilt, and desire intertwine. After years of drifting, the Lynch family settles in the decaying town of San Marena Bay, reopening a motel with a violent past. As a new series of murders begins to mirror the work of a long-dead killer known as The Dollmaker, Norman Lynch is pulled into an investigation that begins to unravel not just the truth, but his own mind.

(Concept Art of "The Dollmaker" - created by the Concept Artist Nelson MacPherson AKA NelsonAM) 

The deeper you go, the less certain everything becomes. This isn’t a story about stopping a killer. It’s about discovering what’s already inside YOU

Features

• Branching narrative with 8 possible endings
• Choices that shape 8 different Love Interests, relationships, identity, and outcome
• A cast of morally complex, psychologically layered characters
• Investigation mechanics including clues, journals, and photography
• Psychological horror blended with erotic tension and power dynamics
• Reality-distorting decisions that blur truth and delusion

Core Themes

• Memory vs Reality
• Obsession and Control
• Desire and Consequence
• Identity and Self-Perception

Character Preview

Norman Lynch

"My eyes opened slowly. Light poured in, cutting through the darkness I’d seen before. I was home. Everything was the same… painfully so. It wasn’t a dream. It was a nightmare."

Nora Lynch

"You have every right to be mad at me. I sound like a broken record. But this is the last time. I promise."

Ramona Lynch

"I’m crashing here. I need to stay for a bit. Like it or not, I’m your new roomie"

Henry Beauregard

"Sheriff. Sheriff Beauregard. You can call me Henry, son."

Preston Adler

"Listen up asshole. Don't ever fucking come near me or my family again, or you're dead. Got it!"

Reina "Rae" Arce     ❤️ (1 of 8 Love Interest)

"Ay que rico. A man who's unafraid of his own actions. So bold. So confident! I like that."

Setting

The game takes place between the final week of September 2008-October 2008 in a fictional town/city called San Marena Bay and Arelea, based on Southern California. The game is not a sandbox style game as it is mainly choice narrative gameplay

Status: In Development

The first wave of character reveals is currently underway, with additional updates and content releasing over the coming weeks.

Content Warning

This game contains mature themes including psychological distress, violence, and explicit sexual content intended for adult audiences. Certain content may be optional or adjustable depending on player preference.

I am currently looking for any help for this project. If you have any skills, interested or just want to help in anyway, please feel free to message me as I am looking for all the help I can get. As of right now I am currently looking for a 3D artist and 3D animator. The project will be rev-share.
