The Shadow question

[Hunter of Shadows]

So does it have a physical form or is it just red aura? Because in one scene when it chases Daniel, you can clearly hear the stomping noise, also red mists doesn't roar, does it?



Does Daniel gets killed when the Shadow devours him or does he just become part of the shadow?

It never was hinted or explained if the Shadow has physical form. If you take your time to look back in the "Prison" level, during the chase you will see nothing, so we can assume there is no actual visible form of the shadow, just its leftover and affection on real word, environment around. The red goo, part of it, is like a warning, the indication that Shadow is nearby, its' close. This way the developers trying to gather the atmosphere, to give the player a feeling that he is not safe, never.

At least until you learn that the Shadow will never actually try to kill you at the end of the game...
