How it feels

A deliberate puzzle adventure in a dark fantasy world, where solving mysteries and exploring corridors is more central than fast action.

What players say

Players are split on this VR Shadowgate entry. Many praise the atmosphere, voice acting, and a sarcastic raven companion, but a vocal group says it abandons the series' puzzle focus for repetitive corridor shooting. A near-universal complaint: the game throws enemies at you during or right after a puzzle, with sparse checkpoints making deaths feel punishing.
