About the Game
Project Shadowglass is a stealth-focused immersive sim set within a dark fantasy kingdom. Plan daring heists, infiltrate forbidden locales, and escape with priceless artifacts in a world where every action leaves lasting consequences.
Built with revolutionary 3D pixel art technology, the game delivers nostalgic pixelated graphics with smooth, full 360° freedom. Players can walk around objects, examine details from any angle, and climb structures while enjoying those perfect little square pixels.
You play as a struggling thief in an oppressive world where the rich grow richer and the poor are pushed further into the shadows. To succeed, you will need to rely on your wits and tools of the trade.
Inspired by classic immersive sims like Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock.
