01 — Shadowhunter · Cover story
The Road to the Great Gates
You wake in an abandoned camp with nothing: no bow, no cloak, no memory of the accusation that put you there. A small flame chooses to follow you. Everything else has to be earned on the road. This is the shape of Shadowhunter.

One Bow, One Cloak, and the Shadows Themselves
You don't collect weapons in Shadowhunter. You learn increasingly ridiculous ways to use one bow, one cloak and the dark. A tour of the kit, from coyote time to the skyfall stab.
03 — Shadowhunter
Cloaks of the Forest
One cloak, different callings. Shadowhunter's transformations turn the Hunter into a wolf, a drift of mist, a shadow no enemy can track, or a thing with burning wings. Here is what each one does, and what it costs.
04 — Shadowhunter
Reclaim Your Might
Memories are the only currency, and you cannot farm them. Inside the skill tree that grows the powers you discover, from Riposte to Emberwing.

Every Enemy Is a Question
The rule for the roster is simple. Each enemy asks something the kit must answer, and no threshold repeats the same three questions. A field guide to what is waiting on the road.

How the Hunter Learned to Move
Every sprite in Shadowhunter is a real video generation, cut into cells and packed by hand-written tools. The laws that keep a one-person Godot game looking like one drawing.
