Shadow of the Guild is a story of Yarn, one of the finest spies in the Guild of the Rain Merchants, who is tasked to find out the mysteries and treacheries that are happening in the lands of Emperor Gethro III.
The game is a mix of beat-em-ups and infiltration games, blending RPG-like progression, and side-scrolling metroidvanias into the mix. The unique art of the game and its cinematic cutscenes make the story immersive and exciting to follow along.
Your choices you make with your own skill tree will make the game different for all players. You can focus all your powers to the path of a mage to use potions, lightnings, and other magic to beat the enemy forces. Or move along on the path of an assassin to execute sneaky kills to unsuspecting villains. Or go all-in and push through the guards and bosses as a powerful warrior.
Shadow of the Guild is coming out in 2022, but now is your chance to try your hands on its demo! The demo contains nearly an hour of gameplay, but the full game takes about five to seven hours to play through.

History:
Aridia, is an parched planet where water is a scarce commodity. Where magic is omnipresent. Where the blacksmith is a pyromancer and the builder is telekinetic. The planet's kingdoms call on the services of the Merchant Guild of Rain, the most powerful commercial organization existing to provide their people with water.From its Flying Fortress, the Guild sends hundreds of flying ships to capture clouds to sell to the highest bidder. Their mastery of the skies is complete despite the regular attacks carried out by the Pirate Guild.
Aridia's Eastern Empire refuses to employ the services of the Guild, building its own fleet of flying ships and attempting to revolutionize the water trade on the planet. The empire is ruled by Emperor Gethro III. Investing heavily in scientific research, Gethro III fears that his discoveries will attract greed. The emperor then decides to close his borders and starts to rule with an iron fist.
10 years later, a discovery made at the cost of immense sacrifices by the Guild of Informers reveals the emperor succeeded in creating clouds with their new technology, freeing the planet from the laws of nature and the monopoly of the Rain Merchants Guild.
The Guild cannot remain idle and decides to send its best element to infiltrate the empire to discover this new technology... Without forgetting to erase all traces of its existence and all those who worked on its creation. This is where your story begins.
