## Featured Project: Long Shadow

Long Shadow is a blind-first, text-led science-fiction lineage game.

The game follows one family line across collapse, continuity, settlement and inherited obligation. It begins on Old Earth as ordinary systems fail, then carries the player through institutions, ships, archives, settlements, civic pressure, family memory and long-term consequence.

Long Shadow is designed around text, records, choices, time costs, procedural consequence and authored narrative. It is not a graphical science-fiction adventure. It is closer to a terminal-based narrative simulation, lineage game and long-form interactive record.

## Long Shadow Description

Long Shadow is about what survives when systems fail.

The player does not simply control one hero. They guide a family line through historical pressure. Characters age, die, inherit, remember and leave records behind. Actions cost time. Memories become inheritance. Records become power. Survival is personal, domestic, institutional and historical.

## Studio Principles

Many Riches makes games with:

- Deep fictional worlds
- Strong lore and setting continuity
- Narrative-driven play
- Systems that create lasting consequence
- Small-scale human stories inside larger historical structures
- A preference for atmosphere, memory and implication over spectacle

## Accessibility

Accessibility is especially central to Long Shadow because it is a blind-first, text-led game designed around keyboard interaction, readability and screen reader consideration.

This does not mean every Many Riches project will use the same interface or accessibility model. Accessibility choices are considered per project and medium.
