Make Hong Kong’s shadows their seediest yet. Catch it on tape. Exchange for valuable goods.

We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but the freshly released Shadowrun: Hong Kong is here and has its very own level editor, all set to take on your cyberpunk-crazy creativity - and so are we.

We want you to create and tell your own short story with the Shadowrun: Hong Kong level editor, make a highlights video of it, post the video in a comment below with a few words on why your story is amazing, and be ready to share it with the crowds.

We will shortlist the Top 10, and from those - run a community vote to select the winning three, who will get to grab some truly amazing prizes and have their fan-made levels added to Shadowrun: Hong Kong game goodies!

Before you let your creativity run wild, here’s some guidelines to stick to:

-- The highlights video must be no longer than 3 to 5 minutes
-- The story must be your original work
-- The story must be complete, with a beginning and end
-- We’re limiting entries to one submission per person
-- Offensive/hateful content will be disqualified
-- Make it exciting, challenging and fun!

What about the prizes? You’ll be thrilled to hear that they’re pretty awesome! Keep in mind, though, that due to production times, Shadowrun swag will arrive at your doorstep towards the end of the year.






1st place:
-- Limited edition Shadowrun: Hong Kong messenger bag
-- Limited edition Shadowrun: Hong Kong action figure set
-- 5 GOG.com $9.99 game codes
-- Level added to game goodies

2nd place:
-- Limited edition Shadowrun: Hong Kong action figure set
-- 4 GOG.com $9.99 game codes
-- Level added to game goodies

3rd place:
-- Limited edition Shadowrun: Hong Kong messenger bag
-- 3 GOG.com $9.99 game codes
-- Level added to game goodies






We’ll award honorable mentions to those that make the Top 10, but miss the podium - they’ll each get 1 GOG.com $9.99 game code.

At your requests, we’re extending the contest deadline to Monday, September 21st, 9:59am GMT (11:59am CEST / 5:30am EDT / 2:30am PDT) to post your entries. We aim to shortlist winners by Thursday, September 24th, and run the vote on the Top 10 until Monday, September 28th.

Good luck, everyone!
After your guys' feedback, we've decided to extend the contest duration from 16 days to a full month - hopefully that'll give more of you a chance to enter :)

Also, to answer some questions:

--> What if we own the Steam version?
If you're able to export the level save in a way that will make it playable via the GOG version (and you should be), I can't see a problem with it!

--> What does "offensive" mean?
We don't want something that'd personally target other users, living or dead people, social groups etc., pornographic... We don't mean "don't show any sort of violence", but rather "don't create something that'd make someone feel personally targeted or our judges feel unnecessarily uncomfortable judging the entry", if that makes sense. It's a common sense-based rule, really.

TheSadDragon: Contest Entry: old.shadows

Youtube: old.shadows highlight video

old.shadows is a story about betrayal and vengeance.
Your choices will have consequences on how the story plays out, culminating in multiple different endings.

Will you be forgotten or will you thrive in the shadows, the choice is up to you.
Congrats, TheSadDragon - you're the only entrant, and thus the 1st place winner, of the contest! Your story was awesome, we truly did enjoy watching and re-watching the video you created, and we're excited to receive the level file to add to the game's goodies! Please send your postal address and the file itself to contest@gog.com :)

However, since I hear that some others were in progress of working on their own short stories, I don't want to stop that creativity - plus, we still have at least two prizes to give away! My suggestion is that you continue working on the levels, and I'll check back with you guys in a month - Friday, October 23rd - to see if we can select some more winners or if the level editor has truly defeated us all (well, all but TheSadDragon, at least!).

How does that sound?
