Dealspwn.com reports: "DeRail Games are best known for the Xbox Live Indie Platformers, two of which have graced our weekly awards and even featured in our best XBLIG games of 2010 roundup. However, their latest project is a far cry from their comfort zone: an "experimental story-driven 2D adventure" in development for PC. Shadow Of The Game will tell its story through music and artwork as well as cutscenes and dialogue; featuring little of the conventions we've come to expect from the RPG genre. And "huge bongs," apparently."
In our latest review, Nathan from Indie Game HQ takes a look at DeRail Games’ interactive narrative RPG, Shadow of the Game.
As someone who loves classic style RPG’s I was very excited to start playing Shadow of the Game.
Using standard WASD movements and Spacebar to interact with objects and NPC’s, the controls are simple and easy to use.
SOTG is considered to be a game within a game. Inside of SOTG, there is a game, created by a company called Gizzard. If you hadn’t guessed the game is an MMORPG. Get it? Blizzard.. Gizzard.. MMO? Anyway, this may seem confusing, but I’m doing my best to explain.
Shadow of the Game, an RPG inside of an RPG by DeRail Games, has officially been released on Gamersgate with other digital distribution platforms to follow tomorrow. With a humorous and engaging story, not to mention a price tag of only $4.99, Shadow of the Game is definitely worth a look.
DSOGaming writes: "After two years of development, the experimental RPG Shadow of the Game is finally released! Shadow of the Game - which resembles a visual novel - is now available on a broad variety of distribution channels and is described as a lengthy multiple award-winning roleplaying title with a strong focus on interactive storytelling."
