Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers — About this game
Del Cottonwood survives a caravan raid only to become a prisoner beneath Castle Shadowgate. This first-person fantasy adventure asks you to solve the castle’s puzzles through observation, conversation and inventory items. Center an object in view to examine it, read the books you find and check the map for explored rooms. Small details can reveal a route, while a careless decision can be fatal. The first escape already shows the approach: an everyday object becomes a tool for opening the way out.
