A remake of Shadowgate
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. This game is a re-imagining of the original Shadowgate, released for Mac in 1987 and later ported to, for example, NES and Nintendo 64.

An interesting adventure game. Very cryptic but I liked the different ways you could tackle things.
If an adventure game gives you a sword and doesn't let you stab yourself with it on the first screen, can you really call it an adventure game?
The art is lovely, but the game design is very much rooted in 1987. Largely amounts to trial and error.
