About SWM: The Lurking Shadow
SWM: The Lurking Shadow is a fan-fiction visual novel based on the Star Wars setting. Created by Mortze with Ren'Py, it uses animated 3D CG visuals and an adventure structure. You play as a young man, whose default name is Kaylan, as he takes part in action, drama, and sexual content. The story is presented as a parody and science-fiction tale, and the creator says it tries to keep the feel, theme, and tone of the original setting.
The current build is an ongoing release, version 2.0, dated October 20, 2025. It is not a demo, and it contains both episodes. The game runs on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, with English, Spanish, and French support. It is uncensored. The changelog says saves from the reprogrammed 1.1 release should work, while saves from the original Episode 1 v1.0 release will not; those players need to start a new game.
Developer's description
A fan-fiction visual novel that is set in the Star Wars setting. In this episode you'll follow a young man (Kaylan is the default name) who will embark in a great adventure full of action, drama and, of course, sex. I tried to keep true with the original SW feeling, theme and tone.
