An independent studio making games you play in a browser tab. No download, no installer, nothing to patch.
Move your light across the dark to see what we're building.
Two live sites, both free to use from any browser.
Free browser MMORPG
Turn-based combat over a living kingdom at war. Make a hero, gather and craft across the realm of Aldenmoor, raise a kingdom, and bring down world bosses with every other player on the same persistent map.
Browser game directory
A community chart for browser games. Developers list their games, players vote, and the charts wipe clean every week, so a game earns its spot on this week's play instead of last year's hype.
Games we're building now. None of these are released yet.
A survivor-like roguelite where your light is your life. Shades only burn inside it, and every hit they land makes it smaller. Light the lamp posts and keep the flame going from 18:00 until dawn, then spend lamp oil on a lighthouse that makes the next night easier.
Coming to the web first in 2027, then Android.
Medieval strategy in a shared world. Build inside your walls, farm the countryside, train troops and recruit heroes, then march on barbarian holds and rival lords. The Imperial Capital at the heart of the map taxes every kingdom, and someone has to hold it.
A dark action RPG. Pick one of ten heroes, from the Executioner to the Void Huntress, smash your way down through the Endless Crypts, and haul back whatever the dead were guarding.
Shadow Lights Entertainment makes games for the browser first. If it runs in a tab, anyone can play it on the computer or phone they already have, and they can be in the game a few seconds after hearing about it.
Our worlds are persistent and shared. What you build in Hero's Ark is still there when you come back, and so is everyone else. We build the tools around the games too: TopWebBrowserGames exists because small browser games deserve a chart that rewards this week's players over last year's.
2002The year the Shadow Lights name first went on our work.
