Update history
1.0.0Sep 11, 2026 · seen Oct 5, 2026
Initial release with an 8-by-10 warehouse, a fixed guard patrol, two collectible maps and an unlockable exit. Includes three disguises, temporary Shade Tags, swipe controls, pause and restart, a saved best score, and music and sound controls.
Only the current version so far — new entries appear as the game ships updates.
Slip through a cardboard warehouse, one careful step at a time.
Shade Scout is a portrait, turn-based stealth puzzle. Swipe up, down, left or right to move one grid square. After each valid move, a guard advances along a fixed patrol route and checks the corridor ahead. Footprints show its next step, so you can plan before you move.
Collect both maps, then reach the exit. Walls block movement and sight. Blue, hatched shadow tiles protect the scout, even within the guard's view. Getting spotted costs one of three disguises and returns you to your most recent permanent shadow. Maps already collected stay with you.
Optional Shade Tags create a temporary shadow on an adjacent empty floor tile for three moves. Select the tile, then use a tag. The main menu offers a rewarded ad for one tag when an ad is available. You can complete the warehouse without watching ads or using items.
The current game includes:
- One compact 8-by-10 warehouse and one scripted guard.
- Two collectible maps and an exit that opens when both are secured.
- Swipe controls and on-screen directional buttons.
- Pause, resume, restart and a saved best field score.
- Persistent Shade Tag inventory and a sound toggle.
- Paper-cut characters, charcoal warehouse textures, amber sightlines and a quiet original soundtrack.
The game interface is in English.
