The Shadow is the overarching, invisible antagonist, a manifestation of the Orb's corruption and Daniel's guilt. It appears in specific, often scripted, sequences. Its presence causes extreme sanity drain, visual distortions, and environmental damage. Strategy: There is no hiding from The Shadow once it manifests. Your only option is to run to the designated safe zone or escape route. These sequences are often linear and require quick reflexes. Do not look back, and do not attempt to interact with it. Focus solely on reaching your objective before it consumes you.
