Beyond Shadowgate

Beyond Shadowgate is a point-and-click adventure and the official sequel to Shadowgate. Set 35 years after Jair defeated the Warlock Lord beneath the living castle, Shadowgate, it follows Del Thornburrow, a Fenling imprisoned in the dungeons of Gwynenthell, the capital of Kal Torlin. Del escapes the dungeon and sets out on a journey through a land where evil is stirring again.

Story and world

You guide Del through Gwynenthell, across the Torlin Forest and over the Gatekeeper Mountains as he uncovers plots to overthrow kingdoms and plunge Kal Torlin into darkness. Along the way, he meets old friends and new, and faces traps, hazards, monsters and other dangers that could bring him before the Grim Reaper. The land is more than five times larger than Shadowgate, and the game retains the look and feel of its 8-bit console version while using a longer, more vibrant world and combining retro and modern gameplay mechanics.

• Déjà vu: A Nightmare Comes True! A side quest based on the game of the same name.
