About the Game

Story

An epic adventure awaits you in Shadows of Time, a challenging top-down stealth game. Sabotage items, control time around you, sneak behind your enemies to take them by surprise. The game offers you unique stealth mechanics. Take a direct, brutal approach or avoid combat. It's up to you!

You play as Cassiopeia, a member of the Shadows of Time, an organization of people dedicated to fixing a timeline broken during the War of Time. The Silent Prestige, one of their research airships was hijacked by the Order. You have to board the ship and prevent them from acquiring the time technology on board.

Gameplay

In Shadows of Time, you infiltrate the Silent Prestige airship to find out what happened. The game offers you many mechanics, such as sabotaging elements, looking through door gaps, and exploding gasoline barrels... There is no single right solution; it's up to you to make your own choices.

Abilities

The Gun: There are two ways to use the gun: close range and long range. In general, it's not very advantageous to fire it, but it could help if something does not go as planned. The close-range dagger allows you to take down enemies quietly.

Control Time: Stones of Time allow Cassiopeia to control time around her. Each one has its own characteristics.

Sabotage: Cassiopeia can sabotage various things in the game. This ability can be used to access unreachable areas or take down enemies quietly.

Enemies

Each soldier type has its own mechanics, strengths, and weaknesses. It's up to you to decide how you will deal with each one.

Environment

Use your surroundings to hide, or to take down your opponents. Find the flaw in the system and no one will ever know you were there.

Map Editor

You can create your own maps with the in-game editor. Once you are done editing, click Play to validate the map. After that hit export and your map will be available in the extra map section.

Everything in the story mode can be accomplished with the editor. Soldiers patrol, custom dialogues can be created, tutorials can be shown... and more
