Your feelings for the Shade
Use this thread to post what happened in your relationship with The Shade. Did you give them a name? Do you wish you could feed them? Did you do something to them that you've regretted?
Just stuff like that. No spoilers please - or if absolutely necessary format a spoiler with the spoiler tags like here

Just played the game for the first time and I'm in unconditional love with the little guy! I'm thinking about the name already and I'll have to be honest - I really want to keep the game playing so to be able to keep him a company and observe him all the time.

The game concept is tricky! On one hand, there's no rush and you can play this game at any given pace and time, and on the other one, the time IS running regardless of your play time and you just don't want to miss it to explore and do things!

Well done! My game of the year already :birbSmile:

There is actually a way to stop time. But you'll have to find out. ;-)

Wait, does that mean, you can actually play longer, than 400 days? :O

After briefly glancing through the drawings, I started thinking of him as Angus. This occurred because I mistook his self portrait titled Angst as Angus. Afterwards when I realised my error, I decided to just stick with calling him Angus.

I just keep referring to him as "him" or "my little dude" and he feels kinda like a little tamagochi. Especially in the beginning I kept wondering how he would be doing while I was not playing. I am currently kinda stuck about 150 days in and I am really frustrated because I really want him to reach the surface .

The Shade seems like a perfectly suitable name for them already, somehow. I know it is early days but I feel affectionate towards the little Shade already, and am in a way even a bit envious of them.

Whenever I exit the game I try to make sure they are holed up nice and comfy at their home, preferably with the fire going. Looking forward to see the home grow and improve. :meadowlovebadger:

Woah, 150 days!
As for tamagochi - yes yes, I fee like I wanna look after this little guy even when I'm not actually playing, hahah! The same feeling :birbSmile:

He is "my little guy".
Early on I began to worry about him; I am worried about how isolated he is; I am attached.

'I am attached' - the mood <3

He is weirdly sympathetic. I have the feeling I want to make his 400 days enjoyable.

I really like him. I'm just assuming he's a guy. He really appreciates art. And that's really uncommon in games in general. I wonder if I will find reading glasses in the game. That would fit him perfectly. Nice game

I've named my Shade - Ik. I love him and he is my friend. I am so intrigued with this game. I have to find a way to get a pick axe! I have made friends with a spider.
