Dreamcore Psychological Horror Game, Lingering Shadow, Launches Steam Demo

Developer Ferine Columba Studio and publisher 2P Games released today on Steam the demo for Lingering Shadow, an unsettling story about distorted memories, and announced its participation in the upcoming Steam Next Fest.

The psychological horror puzzle game invites players into a dreamlike, early-2000s Chinese small town, where a daughter searching for her missing father must confront the increasingly distorted memories of the home she thought she knew
 
Lingering Shadow blends psychological horror and puzzle-solving with dreamcore visuals inspired by 2000s small-town China. Players will explore uncanny locations, interact with residents, recover fragments of Lanlan’s forgotten past, and gradually uncover the truth concealed within the town.

SOMETHING ABOUT HOME FEELS WRONG

On her birthday, Lanlan returns home to discover that her father has vanished. As she searches the familiar streets, shops, and apartment blocks of her childhood, the town begins to shift between warm nostalgia and quiet, creeping dread. Through exploration, conversations, and puzzles, Lanlan recovers fragments of her forgotten past and uncovers the truth hidden within the town.

To find her father, Lanlan revisits the people and places that shaped her childhood: helping an injured turtle at the flower and bird market, playing Chinese checkers with a local youth, and listening to an elderly woman’s fragmented memories.

But as the past returns, heavy footsteps begin to echo from behind the door.

“Dad… is that you?”
 

 

KEY FEATURES
  • Psychological horror and puzzle-solving. Investigate uncanny environments, interpret visual and narrative clues, and solve puzzles that reveal the truth behind Lanlan’s missing father and the town’s strange phenomena.
  • A story rooted in memory and loss. Follow Lanlan’s emotional journey as warm childhood memories collide with decay, distortion, and the fear that home is no longer safe.
  • Environmental storytelling. Discover the town’s hidden history through stained photographs, mold-covered food, abandoned rooms, handwritten signs, and the unsettling details left behind in familiar spaces.
  • Meaningful interactions with residents. Meet the people who once populated Lanlan’s childhood, from shopkeepers and children to elderly neighbors, and gather fragmented memories through quiet, character-driven encounters.
  • A growing sense of unease. Experience a slow-burn atmosphere where ordinary routines become increasingly wrong, building tension without relying on constant jump scares.
