About the Game

Doctor Arcana and the Secret of Shadowspire (sequel to The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana) picks up on Halloween night, right where the first game leaves off. Doctor Arcana's second adventure takes the new Arcanum initiate to a legendary island to investigate the crypts and halls of an ancient castle known as Shadowspire, where new puzzling challenges await and dark secrets are guarded by deadly traps. Can you complete the Trials of the Elders?

The new game includes some added features to help players as they embark upon this dark quest. Once again, Doctor Arcana will be ever-present to watch over players and lend his "guidance" when needed.

  • Immerse yourself in moody environments as you explore the shadows of a gothic mansion and castle.

  • Over 50 perplexing puzzles, mind-bending mazes, and confounding conundrums.

  • Haunting soundtracks by Nox Arcana

  • In-game Walkthru & Mapping feature.

  • Art Gallery featuring dozens of eerie works of art by Joseph Vargo
