Styx: Master of Shadows is an infiltration game with RPG elements from Cyanide Studio.
Guide Styx through the winding Tower of Akenash, home to a Treeworld, source of the Amber – a powerful golden sap filled with magical properties - prowling through the shadows with aide of a host of special abilities refined throughout Styx’s 200 years of history. Within the many hallways and levels of the Tower of Akenash, Styx must avoid the humans who’ve the ability to easily overpower him. With Amber running through his veins, what Styx lacks in might he more than makes up for with stealth, as the golden elixir – often heavily guarded – raises his perception, sharpens his senses, and even offers the ability to turn him invisible for short periods of time.
Styx’s lust for the Amber produced by the Treeworld is matched only by Governor Barimen’s charge to protect it; with little help from Styx’s mysterious shadowy allies, it is our Goblin friend alone who can uncover the secrets of the tower.
In the Tower of Akenash, humans and elves jealously guard a strange treasure: a WorldTree from which pours a golden sap, the Amber, source of immense and indomitable powers. The Heart of the Tree, Amber source, is without a doubt of an inestimable value. Well… this is the assumption of our hero, a goblin thief and assassin, who would stop at nothing to accomplish what would be considered the robbery of the century. For this, he has a main advantage: his capacity to create a clone of himself. His plan is simple, he must first discover the secret plans of the tower, hidden by its mysteriously absent architect, then grab the key that gives access to the tree carefully guarded by the Governor Barimen.
