The Widow's Shadow [Full Game] Trying to Find the Light
8[A Visual Novelty First-Time Playthrough]
CONTENT WARNINGS; this one really affected me big time.
Contains death, depictions of domestic abuse, murder, gaslighting, cheating...
Mosters, Spider imagery, war discussion, drugging, stabbing, choking, blood...
A story of a widow, grieving the loss of her husband and dealing with the rumors of a gossip-loving town. A gossip-loving town who don't know, but love to comment anyways...
A story of a widow, and the life she lived, and the journey to heal, in more ways than one. Recovery is hard and not always a straight line. What she went through can be painfully hard to unlearn.
God, this one hurts.

The Widow's Shadow, by Florisam!
Following her late husband’s funeral, a widow laments her loss. The townsfolk's whispers surround her every time she leaves the house, rumours she cannot avoid no matter how she tries.
Yet one night, everything she wishes to ignore will be laid bare as she steps into a twisted reality — one borne from her own heart.
