Blood & Shadow

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 14 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameFive reels of four cells in a carved stone frame, deep in a black chapel: lit candelabra on either side, bones piled at the foot of the screen and a red candle set on top of the frame. The symbols are line-engraved on worn plates — a hooded figure crowned with thorns, a wolf, a goat skull, a serpent, a raven holding a pendant — alternating with occult sigils. One cell on the fifth reel, against a red ground, carries a stack of skulls. Below the grid, a meter reads 0 / 20. Bet at €1, balance €10,000.
Game rules, page 1The first page of the panel: the game gives itself as 5 reels in a 4-4-4-4-4 setup that can shift to 5-5-5-5-5, with 1,024 win ways by default, after listing its features — The Pact is Sealed, xSplit, Sticky Wild, Candle Spins, Baphomet Rite, Cursed Spins, Ritual bar and Scatter. Then comes the run of theoretical returns, opened by the game's own and repeated for each feature buy. At the bottom, the simulated maximum payout is given as 6,666 times the bet, at one round in 97,000,000.
Game rules, page 2The pay table across two rows of five tiles, all drawn in black line work. On top, the coloured symbols: the woman with a cross marked on her forehead pays 8.00 for five, 4.00 for four and 2.50 for three at a €1 bet, followed by the wolf (6.00 / 3.00 / 2.00), the horned demon (5.00 / 2.50 / 1.50), the serpent (4.00 / 2.00 / 1.00) and the horned skull (3.00 / 1.50 / 0.75). Below, the grey versions of the same beasts: the hooded figure at 1.50, wolf and goat at 1.20, serpent and raven at 0.90 for five symbols.
Game rules, page 3The rest of the rules, page scrolled. The Wild substitutes for everything except the Scatter and always takes the best combination in the table; a combination is read from the leftmost reel rightwards, on adjacent reels. One line is specific to this game: the xSplit and Scatter symbols are removed from the grid once they have triggered their own feature. Then come the housekeeping clauses — reel configuration varying with the mode, a round left unfinished closed after seven days, and a reset after 24 hours when playing in cryptocurrency.
