Shadowspire
In the depths of the night, a vampire has kidnapped the princess and taken refuge at the top of the mysterious tower of Shadowspire.
Play as a determined climbing hero: scale the tower in a vertical race against darkness.
- Dodge the creatures of the shadows.
- Receive aid from the princess, who casts orbs of light from above.
- Escape the creeping evil mist that chases you upward.
- Confront the vampire lurking around the tower.
Will you reach the top before the darkness consumes you?
