Escape From the Castle update to is included for all PC platforms. Just leave a comment to this blog entry, one lucky winner will get a code. Remember that you can also participate on other channels as we give codes on each one, see instructions.
I bet many of you reading this blog post are already somewhat familiar with the game, but let’s go though the facts again. It took some digging, but eventually I found something else from the archives than screenshots to liven this post up a bit.
Shadwen is an assassin on a quest to kill the king. At the beginning of her journey she stumbles into a little orphaned girl, Lily, who then starts to follow Shadwen around. How well does babysitting and assassination work together? Will Shadwen resort to violence right in front of Lily’s eyes or does she try to shield her from death. To kill or not to kill – that is your decision.
In the previous Shadwen post I mentioned that there is this neat time-stopping mechanism that lets you to rewind time. This gives you a chance to change your unwanted actions. You can also use the physics to distract, or to destroy the guards. It’s also possible to create traps and other hazards.
We have a lot of blog entries about Shadwen if you’re interested in taking a closer look of the game and the possible play styles. I have never been good in stealth games, so I’m quite glad that the game lets you to choose between killing and sneaking.
How many of you who have already played Shadwen, have been able to do a no-kill-run? I shall lift my hat for you (okay, my beanie at least). 🙂

Shadwen has such a cool art direction!
Jossain vaiheessa pitää hommata kyllä Shadwen kokeiluun, mutta nyt kuluu aikaa muiden pelien parissa tällä hetkellä.
Toivon myös Frozenbyte poikien joku päivä palaavan Trinen pariin. Vaikka Trine 3 ei ollut pituudellaan pilattu, se oli yksi harvoja onnistuneita 3D platformereita joita markkinoille on kuitenkin tullut.
I’m not a huge fan of stealth games, but I’ve always been a little curious about this game.
Count me in!
Beautiful game, as usual.
Never played Shadwen but i accept the challenge for the no-kill run.
Stealth games are very rare nowadays so Shadwen is a good excuse to discover the genre.
I’ll take the challenge. Now all I need is the game…
Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I’d certainly be willing to give it a shot!
It might end up being on a second play through … We’ll have to see!
Yet another try
yes free yes 😉
Please send us an email to support[at]frozenbyte[dot]com. We can’t send an email to the address you have left to his blog. I hope you can see this. 🙂
Woo, seco– or wait maybe it’s third? — try! 😀
I haven’t played Shadwen yet, so I’m a bit worried about the difficulties of a no-kill-run. However it’s a challenge I’ll take. Luckily you can rewind time in case something goes absolutely wrong.
I really want this game! Please!
I love your guys games, Shadwen for the win 😀
