Shadowline

Shadowline was an early development version of Deadlock.

Not much is known about Shadowline. It existed at some point in the transition from Neon Prime to Deadlock, in 2022-2023. It is assumed to be the first version to use the 20th Century American occult setting.

In this version, the ziplines were called shadowlines.
