REQUIRES iPAD 3 OR NEWER! ALSO WORKS WITH iPHONE 6/6s and 6/6s Plus (However, the optimal experience is on an iPad! as the screen is larger.) NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iPAD 1, iPAD 2 or iPAD MINI (without retina display) Shadowgate is one of the most well-known and beloved point-and-click adventure titles in gaming history. As one of the original titles in the popular MacVenture series that went on to be celebrated on the NES, GBC, and Nintendo 64, Shadowgate quickly endeared players with its fantastic atmospheric soundtrack, perilous locations to progress through, countless puzzles to solve, and more ways to gruesomely die than gamers previously thought possible. Thrust into the role of "The Seed of Prophecy," players travel deep into the living castle, in hopes of defeating the evil that dwells within – the dreaded Warlock Lord. Now, nearly 30 years after the original version haunted Mac and NES gamers, the original development team behind that timeless classic is back with a full re-imagining of the original Shadowgate. Much more than a port, the team at Zojoi has painstakingly redesigned the game from the ground up, adding in tons of new mind-bending puzzles, lots of new rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical detail, and more objects to interact with and help you along your quest.

Colossal Cave is a classic, cozy 3D Adventure. Slow down, explore a massive magical, labyrinthine cave system, all while solving clever, sprawling puzzles at your own pace. Auto-magic maps, limited inventory, treasure search, all the fantastic creatures and a deep mystery at the heart of the experience. > COZY CAVE ADVENTURE First-person POV with classic point-&-click style controls: walk, look, interact, and test your theories. Limited inventory requires clever management in its own right. A magical series of maps quietly and automatically tracks where you’ve been, even marking where you’ve dropped items. Simply focus on strategy and exploration, instead of wrestling with navigation. > CHILL VIBES, CLEVER MYSTERY This is not a frantic action game; no frenetic timers shouting at you, no combo meters to maintain... just you, your lamp, and a series of intertwined, sprawling, twisty corridors full of brainy, logic-driven challenges. Take your time: • Try weird solutions. Take notes. Trial and error can be your friend. • Double back to old rooms with new ideas and unlock potential new discoveries. • Follow that “what if I…?” inclination and see what the cave gives back to you. > CREATURES, TREASURE & STRANGE MAGIC The cave is quiet, but not without your footsteps. You’ll bump into: • Mischievous dwarves with sharp daggers and sharper tempers. • A demanding, grumpy troll guarding a rickety bridge. • A noticeably absent giant. Did you notice that? • Flickering hinkypunks and other odd cave-dwellers. A handsome pirate, perhaps? • Hidden treasures, strange artifacts, and places that feel just a little too magical to be real. Some encounters are charming, whilst others are just dangerous enough to keep you on your toes... but it all stays firmly in “casual mystical adventure,” not horror. Just fantasy with a slice of mystery. That said, all good Adventures suggest one should save early, save often. > RETRO-COOL, PLAY IT YOUR WAY Colossal Cave 3D leans into that old-school Adventure game atmosphere: colorful environments, shadowy silhouettes, bats, and a focus on exploring the world for clues rather than being led around by the nose. There is plenty of customization allowing you to structure your vibe with a variety of options, including comfort tweaks and settings. Reverse direction, or nuke the narrator. It's all there for you. Play exactly how you like... curled up with the game on a couch, in a car, on a bus, on the plane... slowly exploring through the cave one mystical passage at a time. > FEATURES • Relaxed, point-&-click style exploration in a fantastical cave • Limited inventory that makes item choices and puzzle routes consequential • Handy auto-map that shows where you’ve been and where you've dropped items • A cast of dwarves, elves, whisps, a dragon, and other quirky cave creatures • Plenty of strategic puzzles with satisfying “aha!” moments • Retro-cool adventure vibes inspired by classic games • Flexible customization options so you can make the adventure as cozy and enjoyable as you want • The mythic, mellow cavecation! Venture down into Colossal Cave, follow your curiosity, and see how far your lamp... and your wits... can take you.
