Shadows Of The Old World
This is the story of Reggie, the mod’s player companion.
Explore 'Shadows of the Old World,' an upcoming Fallout 4 mod. Uncover secrets, face moral dilemmas, and shape the Commonwealth's future. Follow our development journey, lore reveals, and sneak peeks into this thrilling post-apocalyptic adventure.
Shadows of the Old World is a two-act Fallout 4 quest series introducing the Underground, a post-war resistance movement operating from hidden bases across the Commonwealth. Led by Gloria Marlowe — a 245-year-old ghoul and former Vault-Tec propaganda artist — the Underground protects wastelanders while fighting to expose the crimes of a powerful organization known as the Directorate.
What began as a secret pre-war initiative to pursue life extension evolved into something far darker. For over two centuries, the Directorate has treated humanity as its laboratory, conducting brutal experiments in pursuit of power and control.
The player is drawn into the conflict when Reggie Martinez reaches out on Gloria's behalf. What begins as a mission to save a single life soon uncovers a much larger threat. Working alongside pre-war survivors, ghouls, and wastelanders devoted to resistance, you'll uncover the truth behind the Directorate and help shape the future of both factions.
About the Project
The World
For two centuries, the Directorate has operated from the shadows, treating humanity as a laboratory in pursuit of power and control. Survivors disappear. Experiments continue behind sealed doors. Rumors travel through settlements about people taken and never seen again, while whispers of strange facilities and hidden operations spread across the Commonwealth.
For those living Underground, safety is never guaranteed. Hidden bases, coded messages, and trusted allies mean the difference between survival and exposure. Every new recruit is a risk. Every mission carries consequences. In a world where powerful forces have spent generations watching, hunting, and experimenting, staying hidden can be just as dangerous as being found.
The Crew
Stories begin with ideas, but they come to life because of people. Shadows of the Old World has been shaped by an incredible community of creators and performers whose time, creativity, and belief in the project continue to leave their mark on every step of the journey.

"For two hundred years, I've watched them try to reshape humanity based on some distorted ideal. The Directorate believes time is on their side, but I've lived just as long — waiting for the right moment to expose their crimes."
