Shadows of Desire is an adult adventure game by Shamantr, built in Ren'Py with 2D, 3DCG visuals. You play Fred, a short man whose difficult life becomes more complicated when he has a striking girlfriend and a history with a school bully. The story centers on his final year of classes, where the past conflict and present relationships make his future uncertain. Its themes include cheating, corruption, and a male protagonist navigating personal pressure.
The current build is v1.0.0 Cheating, released August 28, 2026. Development is ongoing, and the game is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English. It is uncensored. Earlier updates added new story renders and animations, made chapter 4 playable, and expanded gallery content, including a remade Sarah truck scene for chapter 5.
