Welcome back to my SAGE showcase,

This time we try something different with a Japanese horror game mixed with the classic 2D Sonic gameplay.

This game has Shadow the Hedgehog in the starring role, this game starts with Shadow unconscious at the bottom of a lake on an island which Shadow doesn't remember going to.

Teikoe Island is an island that hosts a sector of G.U.N. Shadow goes and investigate the island to find out why he is on the island and what G.U.N. is doing on the island, later on we find an old storage room of G.U.N. where, after turning on the power, Shadow finds an old gun which he takes to give himself some more protection after which the radio turns on with someone on the other side addressing Shadow with a cryptic message about something that happened 6 years ago, after the radio stops Shadow goes back out and explores the storage room getting himself more ammo and finds himself looking at a monitor which says something about some project ShD to be transported to another base.

After we exit the storage room we continue looking around the island until we get to an elevator which after opening with the keys we found gets us to the Toluca Waterfall, at the botom of this waterfall there is an old abandoned laboratory when we enter this lab we find another one of those monitors telling us that this is where project ShD was being researched before sending it to another base as well as telling us about something called the Zeta Project which like project ShD was sealed away in a capsule to preserve them and keep them save during research.

After this Shadow enters the submerged laboratory we make our way through by unlocking the locks which eventually gets us to a room where we have to light up 3 switches in a specific color which drain the submerged rooms and returns power to the lab, the same man contacts us through another radio where he tells us that we didn't listen to him about not getting our nose in the history of this island and because of that something has awakened and that thing is not friendly.

Shadow tries and escape from the shadow creature that follows him until he gets to the locked door at the beginning of the laboratory where Shadow finds himself back in a place he thought he would never be able to return to, the capsule he was first discovered in by doctor Eggman back in 2001, in order to get out of this room Shadow needs to enter the password into the console after finding this password at the bottom of the room he enters the password MARIA in there and then the creature reappears behind him so Shadow has to dash out of there.

After a while Shadow wakes up in an other storage room Shadow goes out of the room and finds out that the world has changed a lot getting these creepy smile on every rock and it seems to be raining some sort of acid, Shadow continues to look around the place for a way out finding keys along the way by solving puzzles which happens to require you to find an statue of Shadow's creator Professor Gerald Robotnik.

After finding all the keys Shadow enters some ruins deeper inside the island, these ruins the first time you enter them have a door in them with an eye on them entering this door brings Shadow in a pitch black room where the same shadow entity tells you about how it feels to feel everything, after a while he tells Shadow that he can't escape and crashes the game requiring you to restart the game.

After restarting the game the door disappeared and Shadow makes his way further in the ruins where we find a QR code which I scanned to discover it's a secret message from someone to a person named V.

After this we get out of the room by collecting the "Crystal Keys" to open a door and going up through the ruins we get out of them and find someone floating above us, a shadow version of the psychic hedgehog from the future Silver the Hedgehog and he comes to talk to us before starting a fight with us.

Here is the info from the SAGE page:

"What is real and what is not? Explore the mysterious island where Shadow the Hedgehog wakes up. Destroy the G.UN. robots, find the keys, open the doors, and prepare to face something darker and mystical.
Shadow's Ladder is experimental light horror game, influenced by old school games. This is an attempt to mix the 2D style of Sonic games with the dark atmosphere of Japanese horror games.
Work is still in progress, but we glad to share it, our new demo at SAGE 2020."
