Shadowgate

A point-and-click adventure about exploring a castle by examining and using what you find.

ICOM Simulations · Kemco · 4–8 hrs

Difficulty

A point-and-click castle on a controller. Every wrong verb is a death screen with a joke. Keep a torch lit. The skull is not decoration.

Tips

Start here
Light the second torch before the first dies
Darkness is a game over. Open every bag, don't wear the cursed stuff, and use the spear on the lake creature instead of swimming. Save at every new room if you can.
Secrets
The riddle is the door
Read every inscription. Use the sphere on the lava, the staff on the wyvern, the golden spike where a key would be rude. Look at things before you use them.
