About the Game

After a series of extraordinary events, Viscount Shadow met an untimely demise. With no designated successor, the family recalled the existence of the Viscount's will, securely stored in a safe. The challenge, however, lies in the fact that nobody possesses the complete password to access the safe. The Viscount, known for his love of solving mysteries, had scattered clues throughout the mansion.

In Shadow House: The Code, players assume the roles of detectives, invited to the Shadow Viscount's mansion to uncover clues that will unlock the safe. Throughout the game, you have already discovered some clues to make educated guesses about the password.

There are two modes in the game. In Faction Mode, the detectives take turns revealing clues and placing hints between their clues until someone deduces the correct combination in the Safe. Additionally, each detective belongs to a faction, and their competitors are also in the house. Although they need to hack the Safe, they have another objective: uncovering clues held by rival detectives to ruin their reputations. In Conspiracy Mode, the detectives work together to crack the Safe for reputations; however, the daredevil won’t earn any reputations, so be careful of the hints you provide.
