Nearly 30 years after the original version premiered on the Macintosh, Shadowgate returns, from Abstraction and Limited Run Games for the Nintendo Switch, 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, and 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, in hopes of defeating the evil that dwells within – the dreaded Warlock Lord.

That legendary adventure has been redesigned from the ground up, adding in tons of new mind-bending puzzles, lots of new rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical details, and more objects to interact with.

This new console version builds upon the massively re-imagined remake of the original Shadowgate and features a refined user interface and intuitive wheel-based icon command system to help players along on their quest.

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