The character design places the most emphasis on the two lead characters as Shadwen is a serious looking female assassin on a mission to kill the king, while Lily is a lonely young girl that unfortunately has nowhere to go and nothing to eat yet remains somewhat upbeat and excitable as she continues to deceive the odds of survival by fending for herself, while enemies include patrolling guards. Shadwen and Lily share some abilities such as being able to hide in bushes and haystacks to remain out of sight from guards which also provides time to observe any patterns to the guard patrols, helping each other to open doors that require two levers to be pulled simultaneously, moving objects that make a noise when touched such as bottles to distract the nearest guard to the object out of position in order to sneak past, enough strength to push lighter objects to move beyond them and further abilities such as fast-forwarding time to temporarily speed up the movements of surrounding guards and even the impressive ability of rewinding time to resume from a few seconds before being found by a patrolling guard. Shadwen has the ability to loot chests for important items such as early on in the game when particular components must be found to construct a grappling hook in order to manoeuvre from lower ground to higher platforms, while a further ability includes Shadwen guiding Lily to move at an appropriate time when a guard or multiple guards are distracted. The story revolves around the lead character an assassin named Shadwen as she sets out on her journey to kill the king, although she stumbles across an orphaned girl called Lily through a chance encounter which provides one of the signature gameplay elements by placing Shadwen in the uncomfortable scenario of taking action in front of Lily or doing everything possible to conceal her true purpose by not resorting to violence in front of Lily’s eyes. A few months prior to Shadwen Frozenbyte released the amazing Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, while looking to the future with brand new IPs including the fast-paced old-school platform game Splot in October 2014 and the latest being Shadwen, but can the game fulfil the potential of re-inventing the stealth action adventure genre? Frozenbyte is mostly known for developing the magical Trine trilogy, although Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor was released in November 20 respectively.
