35 years have passed since Jair defeated the Warlock Lord in the caverns beneath the living castle, Shadowgate. In that time, the land of Kal Torlin prospered and the events of Shadowgate were forgotten. But once again evil is stirring, scheming to bring the world to ruin.

Ah, 35 actual real-life years, I getcha. That 35 years also buys you a new hint system, controller support, day/night progression, and a few more modern bells and whistles. The developers' last outing was aVR adventure in the same series, and while it looks reasonably handsome, I’m much more drawn to the lovely retro art in this one. I get the sense a fair few people were excited for it, henceits succesful Kickstarter. Did you play Shadowgate? ShouldIplay Shadowgate? Would you…kissShadowgate? Let me know!
