About shadow monarch
A childhood memory resurfaces in Shadow Monarch, and you walk back into it from a first-person view. The space is drawn from the creator's own childhood in the 1990s. As you explore it, you piece together why something there was left forgotten, and what was buried with it.
The creator used Lovable, with Three.js rendering the 3D scene, and it came 265th of 945 entries in Vibe Jam 2026. Phones can run it too.
The game leans on nostalgia with an uneasy edge, somewhere between adventure and horror. The memory comes back, but the setup hints that some things were buried for a reason, and uncovering them is the job. That tension between familiar, personal surroundings and a growing sense of dread is the main draw.
