Kane’s Shadow is an experimental rhythm game inspired by trauma release practices. Players guide Kane through the resurfacing of a suppressed memory, using rhythm-based inputs to engage with and resolve internal tension.

The core design blends timing mechanics with emotional pacing, where player input aligns with moments of buildup and release. Encounters represent internal struggles, turning rhythm gameplay into a tool for expression rather than just precision.

This project explores how mechanical interaction can support narrative themes of memory, tension, and release, creating a more introspective take on the rhythm genre.
