'''Penumbral''' (formerly known as '''Shaded xStep''') is a [[Update 2.2|2.2]] Extreme Demon collaboration level hosted by nxhtrise and created by the members of Cherry Team, verified by w3rty on 5 March 2026.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVHPFf13M-I</ref> As its former name suggests, the level is heavily inspired by the main level [[xStep]]. The level is generally not fast-paced, with the speed accelerating in the later parts. It is mainly monochromatic, with a predominant grey palette sometimes seasoned with orange decorations and bright light flashes. Similar to [[Acheron]], Penumbral features difficult cube and wave segments, straight-fly, and no memory, making it a good choice for players with strong raw skill.
