Sneak through the shadows.

And finally, take your revenge on the bewitched King.

In Shadows is a game about an alchemist that was pursued by a super religious king and is trying to come back to life.

The game is heavily inspired by sokoban (you know, that game about boxes?) and we tried to make a cool narrative around the REALLY CHALLENGING THEME OF THE JAM... Seriously, it was a hard theme :(

Controls are simple, don't get spotted by the enemies and try to get the good ending to see all 3 cinematics.

Extra Notes
I'll try to be brief.

I myself was really bummed out about jams, and I'm working my ass off on making my games (I'm literally finishing it at 4 am while I need to get up to work at 6:30 @_@). However, Thor's content on youtube really made me believe this jam would be worth it and I guess it's the morale boost me and my team needs to keep going forward. I love making games, loved working on this jam, my team grew a lot from the experience and even if you guys hate our game, I think it was a worthy experience!

Thanks a lot! <3
