Summary
AN UNUSUAL MIX OF ADVENTURE AND IDLE GAME.
Play as a lonely Shade, the last servant of a king who once ruled
an underground kingdom. The king's powers have faded and he falls
asleep for 400 days to regain his might. It is your duty to stay in
the earthen palace until he awakens.
As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400
days - even when you stop playing and exit the game.
It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary
existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty
of time.
CHOOSE YOUR PLAYING STYLE.
Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it
ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the
Shade will be even more lonely without you.
Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable
underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the
walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry.
Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right
in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time
goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied. (The little
Shade in the game finds ONLY English books for now.)
Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the
cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness...
