The Shadow over Blackmore is a dark fantasy adult visual novel by Darktoz, built in Ren'Py and presented with 3D CG animation. You play a male protagonist in a setting shaped by witchcraft, occult fiction, and female domination, with monster girl themes. The overview suggests it will appeal to readers of occult and dark fantasy stories, while also offering many dominant female characters.
The current build is v0.5.2r, released June 14, 2026, and development is ongoing. It is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English and Russian, without censorship. The changelog notes an updated memory room, minor fixes, dialog changes, an extended vacation at a new pony farm, witchcraft lessons with Tara, and summoning a demon. An earlier entry mentions three side quests, a small main-story advancement involving a book, and access to the pony farm after Day 4.
