THE KING IN THE SHADES

A classic late-90s / early 2000s narrative driven survival-horror game, set in a fictional universe full of century old mysteries to uncover.

You play as Douglas Hayles, the one who bears the mark of the king of shades and tasked with an impossible mission that cannot be achieved within a single lifespan.

Enter the world of THE KING IN THE SHADES and rid this decaying world of the curse of Gods.

From strings he rises anew

A benumbed awakening strew

Afore destinies window strays

Be pallor and roots set ablaze

So wanton grief that ought breath

May under Aine’s shadow wreathe.

FEATURES:

• Cinematic fixed camera level design.
• Classic tank controls movement system.
• Limited supplies and inventory space.
• Limited amount of lives per play-through, every decision you make has a cost..
