Shadow Complex is a Metroidvania video game developed by Chair Entertainment in association with Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360 in 2009.

The game follows Jason and his girlfriend Claire, out to explore some caverns. When Claire goes missing, he finds a massive underground complex with soldiers and high-end technology. Jason must rescue Claire and discover the plot behind the faction operating the complex. Inspired by the Metroid series, the player in Shadow Complex controls Jason as he explores through the underground complex, defeating hostile forces, and finding various power-ups that enable further exploration of the complex. The game is based on the setting of Empire by Orson Scott Card, with Peter David brought in to write the script for the game.
