Short description
Live in the dark. Get back before dawn. Raid the sun-scorched surface at night, take what you can and get back to your shelter before sunrise burns you. Underground, build and lead a colony of up to 200 people.
About the game
One morning, the sun changed. The ozone layer tore open in three weeks, daylight became a killer and the survivors fled into metro tunnels and mine shafts. Those who stayed in the light didn't die. They changed. Now they roam the surface at night, and they hear everything.
Then the truth came out: ships in orbit had turned the sun into a weapon. At dawn they drop their robots to claim the surface. The robots rule this world now.
In Shadow Colony you lead one of the last shelters. Every night you ride the elevator up into a ruined world to loot crates, buildings and rare safes while mutants and robots hunt you. Every minute you stay means better loot, and a higher risk of being caught in the sunrise. Back underground, you dig rooms, grow food, raise livestock, purify water, train your people and defend the shelter against hordes, raiders and machines.
Your final goal: reach the Spaceport, repair the last colony shuttle the robots sealed away, and launch your people toward a new world.
