I love Shadow Man. Truly love it. The Acclaim comics the game was based off are incredible and I've been very lucky to talk to Tim Haywood who made the exquisite soundtrack for this game. Acclaim really were the arbiters of their own demise weren't they. If anyone is interested, Tim runs a discord server for the game and a Facebook page.

This game hold a special place in my heart. I remember buying this game after a kick ass review in PC accelerator magazine back in the day. I had just got a creative labs awe 64 sound card and holy shit balls the sound track and positional audio was fucking tits. The game was so dark and creepy and also darkly funny at times. Good shit!

This would be one of my most wanted remakes.

You probably know but night dive did an incredible remaster with the unfinished content included.

I think I played this on the Dreamcast... did it have really weird/clunky controls? I think I got lost a fair bit too.
Will have to look at some YouTube info/reviews.

It was a classic Metroidvania style game. But it was a belter.

The remaster is perfect. Both ligthing and controls have been improved. Thanks to the new lighting I didn't mind much the old textures (that still look a bit better at native 4K).
They added some new material (including a new level) and the performance is perfect.

All these things describe Shadow Man. It was a product of its' time but I remember enjoying it quite a bit. This thread made me remember to pick the remaster.

$3.79 on CDKEys. I just got it myself. Loved this game on dreamcast but I don't think I ever finished it. Actually nvm, the version on CDKeys is the older Night Dive release.

The play rooms were so fucked up where you can see them torturing baby monsters and you can hear the squeak of toys, then the whirring of a saw blade and screams from the mother.
