The Shadow and the Beast
The Game  The Shadow & the Beast is a two-player roleplaying game inspired by the classic video game Shadow of the Beast. The game can be played in a single session that simply sees the Beast face off against the Chosen and the Shadow, or it can be extended into a longer campaign in which the Beast must make its way through fortresses controlled by the Chosen or even through entire regions that present more expansive storytelling opportunities. The Shadow and the Beast was created as part of the Gamer Games Game Jam by Peach Garden Games.
