''Beware the Shadowcatcher'' is a 2022 short horror game created by ''Zed_Technician'' also known for the developer behind ''VideoGame/TheManFromTheWindow''.
Maude's old diner was struggling to stay open. But then one late night, three unexpected guests arrived.
The last hope of saving the diner lies with these guests, yet there's still one problem...
''Something followed them.''
