Escape From the Castle! Are you ready for more challenge?
To celebrate Frozenbyte's 15th anniversary, we are happy to announce a content update Escape From the Castle!
Along with fixes this update adds reversed levels to the game for free and it's available on each platform; Windows, Linux and OS X. The levels have not just been turned around, but we have also added more guards to the mix. So, can you lead Shadwen and Lily to their Escape From the Castle?
Along with the difficulty curve, the new levels also have hidden treasure maps scattered around. So, can you find them all? ;)
You can read more about this and see additional screenshots from our blog on our website. We have also listed the changelog on this community post!
If you didn't notice Shadwen is also 50% off! Our other games are on sale too to celebrate the anniversary as well. :)
If you are interested we also wrapped up the video linked below which shows our progress from our first game, Shadowgrounds to Shadwen.

Thank you all for supporting us to reach this milestone!

[ 2016-08-09 17:10:49 CET ] [ Original post ] Shadwen is a 3rd person stealth-action game where the only rule is to remain unseen. Stay hidden - or the ruthless guards will kill you on sight!
Shadwen, an assassin on a quest to kill the king, has a chance encounter with an orphaned girl, Lily. She follows Shadwen on her dangerous journey, but when the ruthless guards get too close, Shadwen must take action right in front of Lily's eyes.
Will Shadwen risk the girl's budding trust by resorting to violence, or try and find another way while keeping her real purpose concealed?
To kill or not to kill - that is the question.
FEATURES
- MOVE FREELY - Sneak and explore around the dark and gritty medieval province and use the environment to your advantage - use your rope to grapple onto rooftops, silently drop from ceilings, or veil yourself in the shadows.
- STAY HIDDEN - Pick your assassinations carefully. Avoid being seen, heard or getting caught indirectly. Suspicious sights and noises will alert the guards - use it to your benefit.
- TIME IS AN ACCOMPLICE - Time stands still when you are not moving Shadwen, allowing you to stop at any point mid-motion. Rewind time to manipulate your past and present actions!
- USE PHYSICS - Use physics and a freely attachable rope to drag and topple objects. Make deaths look accidental; let gravity do the grave work.
- CREATE TRAPS AND HAZARDS - set up traps and hazards to lure guards towards their untimely demise; discover new ways to eliminate or distract your foes by crafting items into deadly surprises, including poison traps, spike devices, decoy toys and more.
- TWO CHARACTERS - Embrace the darkness with Shadwen and her abilities to protect Lily and create a safe passage for her.
