SHADOW STORIES
Game design
The game is divided into chapters, which are further divided into several parts. Each chapter represents a separate story within the framework of the global plot. To progress in each part, you will need to answer specific questions or perform certain actions. Sometimes, the player will have to choose a storyline, which, of course, will affect the investigation process. At the end of the game, several endings await you, allowing you to fully assess the consequences of your decisions.
Capitols and chapters
As mentioned earlier, the player's choice is one of the fundamental mechanics in the game. For almost any situation, you will be presented with several possibilities. Different dialogue options, the use of magic, making global decisions, as well as strengthening the influence of each of the secret societies will be available to you.
Decisions
Exactly, depending on whose interests you serve and what kind of magic you use, the influence of secret societies and your reputation will change. Some characters will be more favorably disposed towards you, while others may become hostile.
Influence

One of the essential tools will be spells, which you will frequently come across. They can be helpful in various situations: hypnotizing a guard, communicating with the deceased, or finding a hidden cache. However, using spells will always cost the player mental energy and will strengthen the influence of one of the clans.

Setting
The story unfolds in an alternate version of our world, set in the near future, where supernatural events and the practice of magic exist. The central theme of the setting revolves around the coexistence of mages and non-mages, ordinary people. After millennia of hiding in the shadows, the mages have decided to reveal themselves. Witnessing humanity's destructive actions such as the devastation of nature, the onset of wars, and the creation of dangerous technologies, the mages believed that it was time to intervene.
In an effort to safeguard the world, they opened their realm to the most intelligent, influential, and affluent individuals. Throughout the history of the planet, mages and non-mages have interacted, but the cruelty of the Inquisition and similar events forced the mages into seclusion. They also recognized that individuals with immense power may seek dominance over human reality and employ their magical abilities to harm humanity. Thus, the mages chose to protect and guide humanity from the shadows.
For a significant portion of history, the mages lacked absolute unity. Some mages embraced this position of secrecy, while others desired to maintain relationships with non-mages and educate them. Simultaneously, there were those who sought to exert control over non-mages. Eventually, three distinct factions emerged, later becoming secret societies: the Inheritors, the Cultists, and the Scholars.

Main Features
The main story line
After the magicians revealed themselves to the world in 2034, life for humans became calmer as there were no more global conflicts and the threat of a climate catastrophe diminished. Ordinary people received bonuses such as licensed fortune-tellers or, for example, fairy dust, without which no respectable party could be complete. However, there was another side to the coin - with the rise of magical influence, the criminal activities of the magical world stopped hiding as they did before, supernatural events increased, despite constant monitoring by the Inheritors.
As a player, you become a witness to a dangerous occult ritual and, in parallel, discover that you possess paranormal abilities yourself. After the incident, you get to know the magicians and find yourself entangled in a story of hidden conflicts and mysterious incidents.
