South Korean game company NEOWIZ signed a publishing agreement with Chinese developer Shadowlight for their detective game. The Shanghai-based team consists of five college graduates who knew each other from university competitions. These developers won many awards during Chinese game development contests before starting their company together. HYPERGRYPH invested money into Shadowlight during 2023 and supports them through their COREBLAZER program. The partnership helps young developers create professional games for global markets.
Kill the Shadow features a main character who can travel back through time to solve criminal cases. Players investigate strange crimes across a divided city that exists after a major war ended. The game mixes detailed 3D backgrounds with classic 2D pixel art characters for visual appeal. Shadowlight released a demo version during Steam Next Fest that earned positive reviews from players. Gamers praised the story elements and logical puzzle systems throughout the adventure experience.
NEOWIZ Co-CEO Kim Seung-chul said the company wanted to work with developers who create premium story games. Shadowlight CEO Black appreciated finding a publisher that respects different cultural approaches to game development. The Korean publisher recently made deals with Western studios like Wolfeye Studios and Zakazane. Both companies believe international collaboration creates better gaming experiences for worldwide audiences. The partnership aims to release Kill the Shadow globally across multiple gaming platforms.
