A text-based football game, made of messages and choices
No match graphics: conversations, decisions and their consequences.
A game you read
In Shadow Director the action goes through text: texts from the coach, emails from the chairman, staff reports, press articles. Every message offers several replies, or you can write your own, by hand or by voice.
Real consequences
A reply changes board trust, your reputation, the relationship with your coach, a player’s morale or your stress. Replies are shuffled and not colour-coded: you judge the best one, because the club’s situation changes the reaction.
Who it is for
For players who like reading, choosing and watching a story build, more than steering a match. You can also read example situations before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a lot of reading?
Yes, it is a messaging game. The texts stay short.
Can I write my own reply?
Yes: the game analyses the tone of your message (praise, criticism or neutral) and the character reacts accordingly.
