The Shadow is not a character in the traditional sense but rather an omnipresent, malevolent force that hunts Daniel. It is a manifestation of the Orb's corruption and Daniel's guilt. The Shadow cannot be seen directly but is indicated by visual distortions, auditory cues, and a rapid drain of sanity. It is an unstoppable force that forces Daniel to constantly move and hide. Its presence is a constant reminder of Daniel's past actions and the impending doom.
