Shadows Over Loathing — Trailer
Monsters, mobsters, and mysteries. Explore a sprawling open world chock full of danger, quests, puzzles, and stick figures. Shadows Over Loathing is single-player comedy adventure RPG. One that also takes place in the prohibition era of the Loathing universe.
Your Uncle Murray needs your help at his antique shop in Ocean City. Upon your arrival, the old man is nowhere to be found. Your search into his disappearance and the artifacts he’s been collecting takes a turn. While you stumble across some shadowy plots (and a bunch of squirming eldritch tentacles). These also threaten to bring about the end of the world.
Shadows Over Loathing is a vastly larger game than its Wild West cousin. Featuring genuinely baffling 1920s slang, strategic turn-based combat (but only if you want it). There is also inappropriate fishing, cursed antiques, and a corrupt government to be overthrown at your leisure. Plus an infinitely tall building, sentient math, and much more. See how many enemies you can stuff into a phone booth as the athletic Pig Skinner. Control the curds and whey of the cosmos as the cunning Cheese Wizard. Or march to the beat of your own hidden purposes as the hip Jazz Agent. Just watch out for those non-Euclidean horrors lurking just beyond the edges of the screen.
