Dopo il lancio della Demo Event di "Shadwen", il gioco verrà lanciato sul mercato al prezzo di 14,55 dollari questa primavera.
L'iniziativa promossa da Frozenbyte ha avuto successo facendo scendere il prezzo del gioco da 35 dollari iniziali fino ai definitivi 14,55.
"Amiamo il feedback. E' stato grande guardare la gente giocare il gioco e commentare sulle cose che funzionano e che non funzionano. Ci prenderemo quei pensieri e renderemo il gioco finale ancora migliore! Abbiamo iniziato facendo un gioco stealth subdolo, ma dove stiamo prcedend sembra più un divertente parco giochi di fisica e tempistiche di flessione, e noi lo stiamo abbracciando a braccia aperte!", dichiara Mr. Lauri Hyvärinen CEO di Frozenbyte.

"Helsinki, Finland - 29th of February 2016
Finnish game developer Frozenbyte announces the successful end of the Demo Event for Shadwen, its upcoming stealth action game featuring time rewind and physics-based gameplay. During the event players from all around the world were able to play a special sneak-peek demo of Shadwen at www.shadwen.com, and by playing were able to lower the eventual launch price of the game. The initial launch price was $35 and at the end it's $14.55. There were over 20.000 downloads, 3.5 million points, and over 100.000 killed guards during the event.
Shadwen will launch at $14.55 in the spring 2016 for PC and later for consoles with exact dates to be announced later. The launch price will be in effect at least for the launch week. The final regular price will be adjusted according to pricing matrices and store policies. A level editor will be included for PC.
Frozenbyte CEO, Mr. Lauri Hyvärinen, is thrilled with the reception the sneak-peek demo got: "We love the feedback. It's been great watching people play the game and comment on things that work and don't work, we'll take those thoughts and make the final game even better! We started out making a sneaky stealth game but where we're going looks more like a fun time-bending physics playground, and we're going to embrace that with open arms!"
About Shadwen
Shadwen is a stealth-action game where the only rule is to remain unseen. Stay hidden - or the ruthless guards will kill you on sight!
Shadwen, an assassin on a quest to kill the king, has a chance encounter with an orphaned girl, Lily. She follows Shadwen on her dangerous journey, but when the ruthless guards get too close, Shadwen must take action right in front of Lily's eyes.
Will Shadwen risk the girl's budding trust by resorting to violence, or try and find another way while keeping her real purpose concealed?
To kill or not to kill - that is the question.
FEATURES
MOVE FREELY - Sneak and explore around the dark and gritty medieval province and use the environment to your advantage - use your rope to grapple onto rooftops, silently drop from ceilings, or veil yourself in the shadows.
STAY HIDDEN - Pick your assassinations carefully. Avoid being seen, heard or getting caught indirectly. Suspicious sights and noises will alert the guards - use it to your benefit!
TIME IS AN ACCOMPLICE - Time stands still when you are not moving Shadwen, allowing you to stop at any point mid-motion. Rewind time to manipulate your past and present actions!
USE PHYSICS - Use physics and a freely attachable rope to drag and topple objects. Make deaths look accidental; let gravity do the grave work.
CREATE TRAPS AND HAZARDS - Set up traps and hazards to lure guards towards their untimely demise; discover new ways to eliminate or distract your foes by crafting items into deadly surprises, including poison traps, spike devices, decoy toys and more.
TWO CHARACTERS - Embrace the darkness with Shadwen and her abilities to protect Lily and create a safe passage for her".
