For additional permissions or standalone soundtrack use, contact help@shadowgangs.net. REVIEW KEYS Request a Steam review key at help@shadowgangs.net and include your channel or publication link. Keys are delivered separately and are not part of this public kit. A complimentary key does not require coverage or a positive review. Suggested disclosure when applicable: "Review key provided by JKM Corp." QUICK START 1. Activate your separately supplied key in Steam using Games > Activate a Product on Steam, then install Shadow Gangs Zero. 2. Launch through Steam. For controller play, keep Steam Input enabled and use the game's native action layout. 3. Choose Dan or Monika and the desired player mode on character selection. For side-by-side play, select Simultaneous 2P Co-op. Both heroes join the action after the one-player tutorial. 4. Choose your campaign. Arcade is the default focused itinerary featuring all bosses and mini-bosses. Branching offers route choices. Full follows the complete campaign progression. The advertised 43-level total includes bosses, both bonus levels and the tutorial; individual campaign choices use different itineraries. 5. Review the tutorial and the in-game controls menu. Saved or customised mappings may differ from the defaults below. 6. Record, stream or publish when you like. There is no embargo of any kind.

The screenshot folder contains gameplay captures, with captions in Asset-Guide.txt. Some captured gameplay uses a CRT/scanline effect. The only supplied video is the official 44-second Steam trailer. It includes music, promotional lettering and a Steam wishlist call to action. The trailer file is in the full kit; the light kit provides an online watch link.
