About
Shadows over Silesia is a dark action adventure game with fantasy elements, set in real medieval Europe. With true historical events in the background, you can mainly expect challenging puzzles and difficult battles, but also stealth passages and important decisions. You will come across wizards with false identities, possessed devil worshipers, sexual demons, and beasts from hell, as well as creatures well-known from European mythology.
Dark fantasy storyEurope is in the middle of religious upheaval and many preachers predict that the end of the world is near. The year is 1428 and the Hussites have just set out on their Silesian campaign. These heretics appear to be the biggest threat in the kingless country. But true evil of a completely different kind is lurking nearby and it does not intend to engage in religious disputes.Isometric graphicsThe graphics are inspired by classic RPG games. They are isometric, stylized, and a bit fairytale-like. The action often takes place underground, in the rain, or at night, which serves to amplify the whole atmosphere and focus, which is mostly placed on light and shadow.Challenging riddlesThe original riddles you will come across on your dangerous journey will most definitely be challenging. Classic adventure games from the 90's served as my model here. You will have to take advantage of your surroundings, look for objects, obtain information, and solve puzzles or encoded messages. Some problems can be solved in multiple ways, or they can be cleverly worked around.
Creeping through shadowsAt times, you will become invisible and creep through shadows past your enemies in order to avoid being seen. Monitoring the enemy's patrol routes and habits will help you find the best path. Or you can try eliminating your enemies quietly, one by one.Complex fightsThe combat system is easy to understand but it takes a bit of practice to fully master it. Remember one thing: being outnumbered is a problem! If three or more opponents attack you at the same time, you will die! The key is to take advantage of their mistakes, wait for the right moment, and then attack. You will face not just knights, villagers, and highwaymen, but also various supernatural beings - and you shouldn't underestimate them.Diverse environmentsDuring the game, you will move around on foot as well as in the saddle. You will visit various real as well as fictitious places in medieval Silesia. You will plunder villages, doggedly defend streets of towns, and explore places such as secret dungeons, abandoned mines, or forbidden sections of monasteries. For example, you can look forward to visiting Röwersdorf, Nysa, the Brzeg monastery, or the Rabesberg castle.
