Key Features of the Steam Next Fest Demo:

  • Two Playable Characters, Two Different Playstyles

Players will take control of two key characters in the demo, Arthur the warrior-son of a blacksmith and also Phyllis a forest-raised hunter who utilizes a bow during battle. Hellbent on revenge, players will initially take control of Arthur as he tries to avenge the death of his father at the hands of monsters. Heading into battle with a sword and shield, Arthur favors a more defensive playstyle that allows players to block incoming attacks and counter.

  • Endless Possibilities

Shadow of the Depth features randomly generated levels, which means each new adventure is slightly different to the last. The addition of over 140+ passive abilities empowers players to discover distinct builds for each one of the game’s playable characters. Each new venture into the depths will provide unique and exciting possibilities.

  • Deeply Rewarding Combat Mechanics

Each character in Shadow of the Depth features their own distinct array of primary and ultimate skills, underpinned by a myriad of combo options. Rhythmic combos, which task players with carefully timing their button hits, add depth to combat encounters, encouraging the mastering of all five of the game’s playable characters.

A Hand-Painted World

Hand-painted visuals help bring Shadow of the Depth’s dark and brooding world to life. Dynamic lighting adds further depth to the world, creating a tangible atmosphere which sits at the heart of every encounter.

ChillyRoom is excited to offer players this early glimpse of Shadow of the Depth. If you would like to learn more, we would recommend visiting the game’s official Steam page. You can also stay up to date with all of ChillyRoom’s latest updates by following the developer’s official X account.
