Version 3 is available for free!


The updated version of A Most Shadowed Descent is now available. I've made a large number of changes including:

  • New unlockable player skin.
  • New level to play in.
  • Redesign of the rune stones and symbols.
  • Visual shaders to rune and clue locations to make them easier to identify.
  • Various tutorial and help feature additions for improved experience.
  • Dogs bark when seeing the player, calling in nearby guards.
  • Indicators on relevant books that it is from the "Lost Book of Chains".
  • Functionality to open inventory while casting runes.
  • Casting runes is set on a delay to reduce accidental casts.
  • Option to delete save data from main menu.
  • Physics behavior to book carts.
  • Numerous bug fixes to sound, randomization, menus, and AI.



From the moment I decided to do a major overhaul, I told myself I would fix every little thing that bugged me. I can honestly say the vast majority of changes were made after I made this decision, and I think it turned out really well. This feels like an entirely new game and one I am proud to put my name on.

I've been toying with the idea of recording a post-mortem video going over the version differences and my reasoning behind each change, but that may not be for a while.

For now, I hope you enjoy A Most Shadowed Descent as much as I do!
