| Summary |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| AN UNUSUAL MIX OF ADVENTURE AND IDLE GAME. |
| |
| Play as a lonely Shade, the last servant of a king who once ruled |
| an underground kingdom. The king's powers have faded and he falls |
| asleep for 400 days to regain his might. It is your duty to stay in |
| the earthen palace until he awakens. |
| |
| As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400 |
| days - even when you stop playing and exit the game. |
| |
| It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary |
| existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty |
| of time. |
| |
| CHOOSE YOUR PLAYING STYLE. |
| |
| Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it |
| ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the |
| Shade will be even more lonely without you. |
| |
| Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable |
| underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the |
| walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry. |
| |
| Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right |
| in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time |
| goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied. (The little |
| Shade in the game finds ONLY English books for now.) |
| |
| Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the |
| cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness... |
