Tentacled-Stick Figures Rejoice - Serenity Forge and Asymmetric Games Announce Two Shadows Over Loathing Physical Editions

Pre-order now across PlayStation and Switch consoles, launching Q1 2024

Boulder, Colo. (April 20, 2023) - Do you like stick figures? Strategic turn-based combat? Upsetting fish humanoids? Questionable time travel ethics? Other stuff? Well, then you are in luck, because Serenity Forge has teamed up with Asymmetric Games to release two new physical editions of the comedic adventure-RPG Shadows Over Loathing, featuring themed collectibles that bafflingly do not include any real-life tentacles (the keychain doesn’t count). Pre-orders for both the Standard Physical Edition and Collector’s Edition are now available ahead of their release this Fall, which given Asymmetric’s typical approach to deadlines means it’ll actually be available in Q1 2024. Head to your favorite retailer or the Serenity Forge online store to secure your pre-order now!
 
Shadows Over Loathing poses the question of how far you’ll go to locate your missing uncle when both shadowy villains and eldritch tentacles are involved. With puzzles, quests, danger, jazz and a large number of stick figures in your way, your journey will take many unexpected turns: https://youtu.be/wgTXiwKqAGk

  • The Physical game
  • Glow-in-the-Dark Sticker Sheet
  • Soundtrack Download Card (the music is also in black and white)
  • Microfiber Mapkin (Map-Napkin)
