Shadowgate - Epic point and click adventure now available on Steam!


Prepare yourself for the darkest of horrors as Shadowgate, which is the new re-imaging of an incredible adventure classic originally from 1987, is now available on Steam. The developers Zojoi have claimed that Shadowgate is the granddaddy of all "point and click" fantasy adventure games and NES favorite, and to be honest I completely agree with them!


The original classic was a brilliant horror adventure game that really involved you in the dark story and contained some pretty horrific deathly sequences, especially if a puzzle wasn't done the correct way. Fast forward to today and we have a new Shadowgate, one that is far beyond anything in the graphical department from the original. This updated version contains new puzzles and stunning new rooms while retaining the feel and the greatness of the original retro classic.


Both a Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight success, you'll now be able to relive those adventurous years with all new features! A game so damn cool it's a worthy addition to your steam game library.
