Shadowlight
Read full descriptionHide full description
Wolfshade Asylum, 1934. A letter invites you to visit your sister Clara. Once you're inside, the asylum has other plans. Shadowlight: No Return is an eerie first-person mystery adventure set in an art deco asylum where nothing is quite as it seems. Clara's voice drifts through the halls, and somewhere in the dark she is waiting for you to find her. Expect light horror, tense chases and no gore. EVERY CHAPTER CHANGES THE RULES In one chapter you move only while Clara sings and freeze the second she stops. In another you run from Dr. Kessler through dark corridors. You'll solve puzzles inside a falling elevator and creep past Nurse Adler in a stealth maze where one wrong step gives you away. More chapters are on the way as the story grows. WOLFSHADE IS NEVER THE SAME TWICE Every run builds a new asylum around you, with fresh layouts, obstacles and hiding places. A run lasts a few minutes, so an escape attempt fits into a coffee break. UNCOVER WHAT HAPPENED Doctors kept logs. Nurses hid notes. Collect the documents left behind and piece together the Aurora Project, the organization behind it, and why Dr. Kessler believed Clara was the key. GET STRONGER EVERY NIGHT Level up your health, speed, awareness and luck, and save a shield or a hint for the moment you need it most. When the asylum starts to feel familiar, face it on a harder difficulty for bigger rewards. The asylum has been expecting you. Bring Clara home.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Captain Solo at none against Shadowlight's shown. Captain Solo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
