Play Shadow, The (Proto) [97E7] Online
You leap across crumbling ruins and barely dodge spinning blades, but the controls fight you just as much as the traps—it’s like Prince of Persia’s reckless little sibling. That desert bridge level? Pure evil, and weirdly satisfying when you finally nail it.

Shadow, The (Proto) is that scrappy, unfinished sequel to Prince of Persia—same fluid animation and brutal platforming, but with way more ways to die. You’re still jumping over pits and dodging blades, but now there’s this weird desert level with collapsing bridges that feels like the devs were just messing with us. The controls are jankier than the first game, but there’s something charming about its rough edges.
Fun fact: this prototype never officially released, so it’s got that "lost SNES relic" vibe. Some of the traps feel downright unfair, but hey, that’s part of the nostalgia trip. If you loved the original’s precise timing, you’ll either hate this or weirdly respect its chaos.
