Indie Unity Game Development
ShadowApe Studios is a small indie game development collective focused on creating atmospheric and immersive horror experiences. We started as a group of developers with shared creative interests and now work together on experimental and Unity-based projects.
We focus on atmosphere, tension, and immersion over fast-paced action. Our games are typically built around simple mechanics, strong environmental design, and horror-driven experiences.
We develop for multiple platforms depending on the project, with a primary focus on PC.
We primarily use Unity for all major projects. Some members also work on independent experimental projects outside of Unity using other languages and tools.
⚠ General Announcement
ShadpwApe Studios is currently looking for new members to join the team. If you're interested in joining us, please reach out to us on our social media or through our contact page. Furthermore, as mentioned in the Home Page notice, the site is currently under development, and some pages may be incomplete or subject to change, and updates may not reflect immediately.
Shadow Chimp Rebirthed Release Status
Shadow Chimp Rebirthed is scheduled for release on June 1st, 2026. Note that some parts of the game may still be under development. Other updates for the game will either be discontinued or finished within the next few weeks.
VR Development Status
Starting June 1st, 2026, ShadowApe Studios will be stepping away from VR game development. Due to the platform’s limitations, it no longer supports the level of creative flexibility and freedom we aim for. As a result, all VR-related projects will be discontinued or will no longer receive updates after this date; however, servers will remain active in their current state.
Shadow Chimp Status
The original Shadow Chimp as of March 7th, will no longer be updated despite servers being active. However, a remake of the game is currently under development and is expected to be released prior June 1st, 2026.
Free and paid assets created by ShadowApe Studios. Low-poly models, textures, and Unity packages available for download or purchase. Some assets will be listed as a .zip file due to some previous loading issues.
