Date Everything features a dizzying variety of dateable characters, each one with their own detailed stories and three different relationship outcomes. However, unlike other dating simulators, most of these characters are inanimate objects and household items brought to life. You can find them by exploring the house and interacting with objects each in-game day.

Shadowlord is a unique and well-hidden character requiring special effort to unlock him as a dateable. After progressing through the game, you are given clues about his location, but it can be challenging to find him if you are unaware of what to search for. This article will outline the process of finding Shadowlord and progressing your relationship with him.

Shadowlord, also known as xxXShadowl0rd420Xxx, can be found soon after beginning the game. Phoenica and Maggie hint at the Shadowlord’s location, mentioning he hides in a permanent shadow. Consequently, you need to search for an area in your house that has an unnatural shadow throughout the day. 

To find the Shadowlord, locate the permanent shadow cast by the globe in the living room. This is the same area where you first meet Maggie during the tutorial. Activate your Dateviators and use them on the globe’s shadow.

If you want to befriend Shadowlord, continue acting sympathetic toward him, but forgo the flirtatious and romantic dialogue choices.
