Project Shadowglass PC Key

ABOUT THE GAME

Project Shadowglass is a love letter to classic immersive FPS stealth sims such as Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock, built with unique 3D pixel art technology.

You play a struggling thief, mysteriously tasked by an anonymous source to "acquire" ancient artifacts hidden across the realm. To succeed, you will need to rely on your wits and tools of the trade to pull off seemingly impossible heists.

By day, you will plan and prepare from your humble flat in the slums. Spend the gold you've acquired on new tools and items, upgrade your hidden workshop, acquire intel, and case your next target location.

By night, you must move and act unseen if you wish to succeed. You are no warrior. You're alone, vulnerable, outmatched, and outnumbered. Every person has a name, and a memory. One false misstep could mean fleeing for your life, hiding for days, or engaging in terrifying melee combat that leaves marks remembered by all.

Gameplay:

- Navigate using light and sound: hide in the darkness, study patrol routes, and choose quiet surfaces over loud ones
- Manipulate the environment: douse torches, create distractions, use surroundings to your advantage
- Infiltrate secure areas: pick locks, pickpocket keys, and climb to forbidden places to gain the upper hand
- Deal with threats: knock out guards, hide bodies and evidence, or risk deadly blade-to-blade combat
- Complete the heist: gain access, steal treasures, and escape

The Story:

In a lush, dark, and oppressive seaside kingdom, the richest nobles have fallen in line with a new king promising them more. The poor grow poorer, the rich grow richer. The claustrophobic city has been building more walls to keep them out from where they don't belong. Higher towers to not hear them, smell them, but always keep an eye on them. But they didn't account for you.

Progression:

Everything is earned. This is not a power fantasy. You are no hero with powers. Instead, you must rely solely on improving your own planning and skill. Leverage knowledge to your advantage. Your tools and mind are your ultimate weapons. You can sloppily wield a broadsword if it comes to that, but a master thief is as a ghost. Feel the reward of your own skills improving. As you acquire intel and lore, it assists you in seeing new methods and approaches, and secrets hidden in plain sight to use to your advantage. Learn recipes and components to prepare new effects and expand your workshop.

Challenges You'll Face:

- Guards armed to the teeth
- Magical security systems with complex codes to crack
- Imposing heights that mean instant death should you take the wrong step
- The front door is the quickest way in, but the loudest
- Traps set for unsuspecting thieves
- Enemies will make use of lights and torches if they suspect something (or someone) is hiding in the darkness
