What is Shadownest?
This free-to-play horror game follows scientists stranded underground after a failed mission. Up to three scientists collect keys to advance through a cave and eggs for research, repelling a fourth player's monster with battery-powered flashlights. The monster creates walls to separate the group and stalks in darkness until it gains resistance to light.
