Shadow Corridor is a title that we only recommend to die-hard survival horror aficionados, and even then it’s a tough sell. The game sets itself apart through its Japanese setting and randomly generated levels. It all sounds great in theory but it falls flat when it comes to its execution. The rough-looking visuals, unbalanced gameplay, and reliance on jumpscares over a fully fleshed-out story make Shadow Corridor feel like a chore to play through rather than a horror game that will make you feel scared of entering a corridor in real life.

Critic reviews
- For a budget horror title, Shadow Corridor isn’t as bad as I expected, but it certainly isn’t a good game. The core gameplay loop of searching for items through a variety of dull environments whilst avoiding enemies gets old stupidly quickly, especially when you add the tons of frustrations this game throws onto you into the mix. This horror title is better left ignored.
- 9.0I do think the game is probably best experienced on PC, but if you’re on the go or a glutton for punishment and feel like playing in the comfort and safety of your own bed, Shadow Corridor on Switch will provide you with a great survival horror experience. Just don’t blame me when you have nightmares.
- Shadow Corridor is a fun Japanese horror game. Perfect for Halloween and any late-night sessions alone or with a group of friends. The controls are smooth and easy to pick up, the jump scares are very effective, and the music elevates everything within this game. My main concern is the replayability the game promotes isn’t as strong as I initially hoped, but that doesn’t impact the overall experience too much.
- 4.0Lacking enemy variety, one-hit death, and hindering systems had me more afraid of the mechanics than the game itself. This horror game requires patience; without it, you can probably sit this nightmare out.
- 4.5An interesting visual and audio design, ultimately let down by the shallow gameplay and poor controls.
