Unedited Gameplay Here: https://youtu.be/eoQgD3vaXvs Shadwen is a pretty underated unique stealth game that for sure has some indie jank, but if you can look past that there's a really good time here! You have 2 interesting mechanics to play with, a Rewind system that lets you rewind time as much as you want, completely unrestricted, and a girl named Lily that you need to help navigate through the levels, the catch is that you can't let her see you kill anyone. It's an interesting take on the Dishonored method for not allowing you to kill just everyone. You have to think outside of the box quite a bit and if you do chose to kill, you have to quickly hide the bodies so she doesn't see. The game also has a fully voice acted story (which admittedly is pretty weak), and guards that chatter amongst themselves providing lore into the world. I was honestly surprised how immersed I was getting in some of these levels. The game isn't perfect, it definitely has an indie feel to it at times, and the story is almost non-existent, but considering it often goes on sale for less than $5, I think it's a no-brainer if you like stealth games. I'd guess based on my current progression the game is around 4-5 hours long, I wouldn't play full price for it personally, but on a sale I can't recommend it enough!

Sort of... its ok even with a lot of whys in the game. A little more story would have spiced up the sneaky time control mechanics. Some parts require a lot of patience because the kid does not find the way. But some parts and the overall atmosphere are cool. 3 of 5 points for people who like stealth games.

I just love stealth games. 7/10 Shadwen looks really nice, it gets the dark night feeling very well I loved overhearing the guards and their stories, it fills out the world quite nicely. The levels are intersting but only in the gameplay way. I didn't really spend any time looking at the architecture or the nooks and crannies. For one there aren't any secrets / passageways ( like you had in the thief series). Secondly, there isn't much to interact with, or even find. Would have been nice if there were more ways to interact with the environment. The gameplay mechanic with the time stop/ rewind is very fun to play with. It takes a bit getting used to,, and it was a while before I stopped forgetting to hold the button so time can march on.

Freeform stealth game where you're not the only one trying to stay hidden from guards, but your companion too.

I enjoyed this game the same way I enjoyed Styx: Master of Shadow. That is, scumming over the same few moments over and over again to get it *just* right, and you imagine that a replay with the rewinds cut out would be pretty cool to watch. I can only recommend it if you have that particular itch, however, because otherwise I would imagine you won't enjoy it at all.
