Really loving the game!

Quick question though: Does anybody know if there is a way to stave off/get rid of that really annoying shadow enemy that spreads across the land as time passes? I'm really hoping it's not just a game mechanic to force you to rush through everything - I like to take my time and it's really annoying me.

Thanks!

Cheat Engine look for increasing float value and freeze it

Did you manage to do it?
I tried searching for the value so many times and never found the correct address.
Would you happen to know initial value? Or an approximate value?

So what's the point of the shadow? "To force you to rush through everything" (OP), i.e. a balancing mechanism, or a design feature to force you to enter dungeons as often as possible?
Is there a way to out-level the shadow, or does it level with you?
I would appreciate it, if the developers made the shadow an option instead of a mandatory feature (any chance?).
At least the game description should mention this feature ("race against the shadow" or something like that).

The shadow is actaully the final boss that you are growing strong enough to kill/get rid of.

If you haven't figured it out yet... :3
