Enter a world of ruins, myth, and forgotten gods

player

Age of Shadow is a handcrafted, story-driven action RPG about survival, choice, and discovery in a land slipping into darkness.

Inspired by classics like Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar and The Legend of Zelda, players explore the open world of Arwell, a game built on meaningful choices, engaging exploration, fearsome battles, and fire-forged alliances.

Set in the twilight of a fallen empire, Age of Shadow weaves a tapestry of loss, endurance, and hope. The age of light is ending, but what comes next? Whether rebirth or ruin, it's up to you.

Player-driven dialogue

Make Meaningful Choices

In Age of Shadow, you will forge your own path through a non-linear world where your actions carry lasting weight.


Will you aid a ravaged village, or side with the bandits who keep them in a state of fear? Will you seek out forgotten altars and honor the old gods, or destroy them to prevent their return?


In Age of Shadow every decision shapes your reputation, alters your standing in the world, and influences the fate of the world.

Explore an Open World

Wander the open world of Arwell. In this land of shattered kingdoms, crumbling temples, and forgotten gods, you'll find that every path leads to opportunity, danger, and discovery.

Gather resources, craft weapons and provisions, and survive the shifting balance between light and shadow.

Face unnamable dangers

Face Unspeakable Danger

Combat is deliberate and tactical. Timing, stamina, and positioning matter just as much as reflexes.

Master weapons, bows, and arcane schools of magic to take on cursed knights, restless dead, and men, twisted by the fading light - each demanding a different approach to survive.

Enter a Living Realm

In Age of Shadow, you will uncover forgotten histories through side quests, encounters, and the stories of those who still cling to life in Arwell.

Whether hunting rare beasts, delving into haunted crypts, or even helping scattered settlements rebuild amid the ruins; every choice adds to your legacy - the story you carve into a dying age.
