Love the original shadow man game so hopefully this turns out well.

It was extremely underrated imo, glad it's not a dead franchise and hope it turns out to be good.

Nice, the OG 3D Metroidvania before Metroid Prime.

Steam page has some details and a few screens:

For centuries, the Boniface family has carried a dark legacy - the mantle of the Shadowman, walker between worlds, sworn to preserve the veil between life and death.
Now, novice Shadowman Jack Boniface is thrust into the path of a growing evil that threatens everything his predecessors fought for.

Building upon the decades of Shadowman tales told within Valiant Comics, this new chapter is an original story developed in partnership with Valiant Entertainment.

Explore diverse locations and traverse vivid, detailed locations in the Liveside & wade through their dark reflections in the hellish realm of the Deadside. Shift between realms to solve unique environmental puzzles.
Ascend through an RPG-lite character progression system, upgrading your character to acquire new skills, and become a Shadowman worthy of fear.

• Enthralling narrative: Pulse-pointed horror-action, with enthralling characters and dialogue
• Spine-chilling horror: An atmosphere thick with nerve-fraying tension
• Parallel worlds: Explore detailed environments across two realms, creating unique gameplay opportunities
• Punishing combat: Challenging, yet approachable and rewarding melee combat
• Action-packed boss encounters: Test your mettle against monstrous, demonic bosses from the darkest pits of the Deadside
