Isabella: Chasing Shadows is an adult visual novel story crafted as an erotic thriller, where your choices will matter, as you find yourself deeply entrenched in trying to uncover those responsible for the murder of your fiancée.
Life with your fiancée, who was a dedicated reporter, comes to a bitter end when she dies in a tragic hit-and-run that claims her life.
Despite the police closing the case as a mere accident; haunted you are left with the lingering suspicion of murder that they’ve failed to investigate.
Determined to unveil the truth, you’ll embark on a relentless pursuit for justice, using your skills and enlisting the help of both old and new allies in your quest.

Developer Notes/FAQ:
- Is this a harem game?
No. It will be Alex, Isa, or both ladies.
There will be one side girl (Val), but there is (in this version) no happy ending with her. - Is sex with Alex (the girl with the unusual haircut) forced on you?
The first sex scene with her is not avoidable, as she is not a new LI, but has helped you to manage to deal with the death of your ex GF over a year back.
She’s the one that got you back to life.
I do understand that some people don’t like her looks or her attitude, but as this is a story driven game, she is there and allways will be.
You can deny every sexual content with her after the first night and dump her later in the game, and still she will be there. Just without sex. - Why do updates take so long?
The usual update cycle in Chapter 3 was 6-18 weeks and I’m planning to get back to this schedule.
Still it’s a “It’s done when it’s done and I’m happy with it”.
I decided to rework the first three Chapters, which took a few months.
In my opinion it was worth the time and to honor the Patrons I told them what I’m planning before and paused billing for two months. - Will there be a Steam version?
Yes.
Steam Storepage will be online with Chapter 4.2.
Steam demo version will be Chapter 2, first Steam buyable version will be Chapter 4 final.
