Light plays a significant role in this game. Players can use their flashlight to repel certain creatures, and killing them is accomplished with such light-producing ammunition as " magnesium bullets" and " phosphorus shells." True to their name, the game's enemies are averse to light (which apparently turns them into ash), and this figures heavily in gameplay. Shadow Island apparently contains one of the many portals to this underground world. These Creatures of Darkness are eventually revealed to be reptilian, silicon-based life forms from the center of the Earth, an enormous world of dark caverns known as the World of Darkness. The player soon comes under attack from Creatures of Darkness that appear out of nowhere and seem to be living shadows. The two occasionally meet up, and the main areas of plot intersect. Carnby's side of the plot is based mainly on fighting the monsters by physical means, particularly with his trusty double barreled revolver while Aline's is more centered on puzzles. The player is given the option of choosing which of the two protagonists they play as. Carnby lands in the dense forest just outside a manor, while Aline lands on the roof of said manor. Carnby and Aline both jump out of the plane and parachute to the ground, but are separated immediately.
While flying over the coast of Shadow Island, Carnby and Aline's plane comes under attack by an unknown creature.
She joins Carnby to recover the missing tablets and assist Professor Obed Morton, who she believes to be her father. Johnson introduces Carnby to Aline Cedrac, an intelligent, young university professor. Carnby accepts and makes it his mission to find Fiske's killer. Johnson pleads with Carnby to take the place of Fiske and reopen the investigation in order to recover the tablets. Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Frederick Johnson, who informs him of Fiske's search for three ancient tablets with the ability to unlock an incredible and dangerous power.
Edward Carnby's best friend and partner, Charles Fiske, has been found dead off the coast of Shadow Island, a mysterious island near the coast of Massachusetts.
