Intro

As the founder of Goldbird Studio, I thrive on crafting experiences that send shivers down players’ spines. Our studio specializes in 3D horror environmentsimmersive narratives, and pulse-pounding gameplay. Inspired by ancient legends and spine-chilling folklore, we create worlds where fear and survival collide.

Overview

🏰 TitleMoonlit Shadows

Deep within the crumbling walls of an abandoned castle—the Moonlit Shadows fortress—something stirs. The moon hangs low, casting elongated shadows across the cold stone floors. But these shadows are not mere tricks of light; they are the remnants of forgotten nightmares. As players, your survival instincts will be pushed to their limits. Can you outwit the monsters, uncover the castle’s dark history, and escape before the moon wanes?
