The official sequel to the classic NES game Shadowgate and the latest entry in the pioneering adventure franchise, Beyond Shadowgate is now available on Steam and GOG for $17.99 USD.
The original Shadowgate from 1987 was a groundbreaking entry in the adventure game genre, known for its unique first-person UI and creative, often fatal challenges. This beloved title is a hallmark of early Nintendo-era gaming. Now, after 35 years, the official sequel—Beyond Shadowgate—has been brought to life by the series’ creator and a leading 8-bit-style adventure game studio.
With a world five times larger than Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate offers a sprawling adventure! Featuring over 250 game rooms in the Shadowgate realm, players will also embark on side quests that take them into two other classic first-person adventures: Déjà Vu and The Uninvited.
Built for both newcomers and die-hard NES fans, Beyond Shadowgate retains the charm of the 8-bit era while adding modern features like a vibrant color palette, auto-save, fast travel, a hint system, and 40 achievements. It’s fully compatible with Steam Deck, mouse and keyboard, and offers Xinput and DInput controller support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
