  1. Core Gameplay

Shadow Split is a high-pressure survival challenge designed to push your limits.

  • Relentless Swarm: Enemies flood the battlefield. Defeat the Boss within the time limit, or keep the monster count under control.
  • Failure Condition: If too many enemies remain on screen for too long, the run ends.
  • Scaling Challenge: Face 30 difficulty tiers, each with stronger dark magic suppression.
  • Flexible Runs: Supports temporary saves—jump in and out anytime.

  • Split Bazaar

In the Split Bazaar, you can exchange Gold, Kills, Shadow Coins, and Heart of Demon for a variety of rewards, including gear, permanent stat upgrades, Tomes, trinkets, and more.

  • Shadow Coins can be earned from Shadow Coin Runs or by choosing one of three power-up options.
  • Heart of Demon can only be obtained through Demon Runs.
  • Gold and Shade Contracts can be acquired via Gold Runs and Contract Runs.

  1. Rift Systems & Progression

  • Resistance Reversal: The void inflicts Shadow Corrosion, which heavily suppresses your Starstone stats. By collecting relics to increase your Shadow Resistance, you can nullify this curse and even boost your stats by up to 200%!
  • Level Breakthrough: We've removed the shackles! Character levels no longer have a cap, allowing for infinite upgrades and infinite power within a single run.
  • Shadow Artifacts & Relics: Harness the void using the new Shadow Relic system.
    • Shadow Chests: Obtain relics from four chest rarities, with the Mythic Shadow Chest being the most prestigious.
    • Legendary Artifacts: There are 5 legendary Shadow Artifacts to collect. Once equipped, they float by your side, auto-harvesting enemies with exclusive skill effects.
    • Guaranteed Drop: Your first Shadow Chest draw is FREE, and your first Mythic Shadow Chest is 100% guaranteed to contain the top-tier artifact: Reaper of Shadow

✦ New Hero: The Designer ✦

Fight with your Voice, Survive by the Code.

The architect of the cube joins the fray with powers that break the fourth wall.

A screen-wide roar that instantly attacks all enemies and opens every chest in sight. It is devastatingly powerful but has an extremely slow attack speed.

  • Skill: GM Menu

Sacrifice your Max HP to open the "Backstage Menu".

  • Ultimate Reset: Every time The Dev revives, the screen is forcibly cleared of all monsters.
