Shadowgate Returns

Nearly 30 years after the original version premiered on the Macintosh, Shadowgate returns, from Abstraction and Limited Run Games for the Sony PS4, fully re-imagined and updated for today’s gaming landscape.

Shadowgate is one of the most well-known and beloved adventure titles in gaming history. It quickly endeared players with its:

• Fantastic atmospheric soundtrack
• Perilous locations to progress through
• Countless puzzles to solve
• More ways to gruesomely die than gamers previously thought possible

Thrust into the role of “The Seed of Prophecy”, players travel deep into the castle, hoping to defeat the evil that dwells within – the dreaded Warlock Lord.

That legendary adventure has been redesigned from the ground up, featuring:

• Tons of new mind-bending puzzles
• New rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical details
• More objects to interact with

This new console version builds upon the massively re-imagined remake of the original Shadowgate and includes:

• A refined user interface
• An intuitive wheel-based icon command system to assist players on their quest

There are also plenty of throwbacks to the original version, ensuring that both veterans and newcomers will relish their journey through Shadowgate… if they survive. Get ready brave adventurer, the Living Castle awaits!

Key Features

• Cinematic Score – A digitally-orchestrated, dynamic soundtrack that changes with gameplay by composer Rich Douglas.
• Storytelling – Shadowgate features dramatic cut-scenes and all the same great storytelling you expect from the original creators.
• Dangerous Dungeons – Tons of beautifully illustrated rooms featuring both new and familiar locations, offering a new gameplay experience.
• Retro Mode – Play the game like it’s 1989! Toggle on to listen to Hiroyuki Masuno’s original chiptunes, move between rooms with pixelated transitions, and follow the text in retro format.
• Difficulty Levels – Four different difficulty levels (from novice to expert) that actually change the gameplay experience and puzzle structure. For the ultimate challenge, try Ironman mode that disables saves and requires players to finish the game in one try.
