Chain leaps, double-jumps, chi-jumps and shadow warps through close firefights and large conquest battles. Practice those same skills in Precision Dojo and the story tutorial.
Chain leaps, chi-jumps and shadow warps. Practice the transitions; the landing is the beginning of the next move.
Commit to a direction. Leap forward, land quickly and carry momentum into your next jump. Sideways and backward hops trade distance for control.

Every ninja for themselves, two teams or a duel. Choose the weapon pool and shield rules for the match.
Take the enemy flag and bring it home. Your movement abilities stay with you, so every return is a route-finding problem.
Glide into the map, retrieve the scroll and hold it for a minute. A beam from the heavens advertises the carrier’s position.
Fight around two sites. Plant, defend or defuse. Foundry and Sanctuary offer different scales for coordinated teams.
Standard matches offer unprotected play, spawn shields or shields restored by kills. Armor adds another layer. Shogun uses its own shield and equipment rules.
Choose weapon pools and shadow access for standard matches. Shogun uses gold purchases and life-based equipment instead of the standard pool.

SHADOWFRAG is a Movement FPS for Windows and Linux. The development build includes 21 multiplayer maps, Shogun conquest, deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Ninja / Scroll and Demolition. Local practice, adjustable bots, private hosting, direct-connect multiplayer, chat and Map Studio are available. Multiplayer matches have a 64-player limit, including bots.
Precision Dojo is separate offline aim training with fourteen forms, real ninja movement and the game’s rail, bow and star handling. The story tutorial introduces movement, weapons, buying equipment and capturing linked objectives through a playable mission. Neither training space counts toward the multiplayer map roster.
Jade and Crimson contest six settlements and twelve supporting outposts across Shogun Highlands. Secure both outposts to unlock a settlement attack; holding more settlements drains enemy tickets. Earn gold, buy weapons and mobility, and choose when to hold a position or reinforce another fight. Railguns are excluded from Shogun’s equipment pool.
The Highlands span 3,000 × 2,520 world units. Walking routes and bridges connect the districts; exposed skyways carry ninjas above the mountains into steerable descents. Read the Shogun guide.
SHADOWFRAG uses a native C++20 / SDL3 / Vulkan engine. Input, client prediction and network result processing run independently of rendering. Movement and combat use a 128 Hz simulation. A compatible Vulkan driver is required; final hardware requirements follow release qualification.
Record gameplay as state instead of encoded video. The native demo browser supports seeking, player follow and free camera. Competitive recording combines authoritative server evidence with collected client tracks for referee review. It is an evidence system, not a guarantee against cheating. Read about demos.
The game is in active development. Steam integration, broader Internet testing and release qualification remain separate milestones. A public release date has not been announced.
SHADOWFRAG is opening by invitation. Request an invite code and receive development updates. Anyone can request access; Shadow Council contributors receive priority when invitations begin. Codes will be issued in a future round.
