Shadowed's UI and gameplay

Shadowed: the Demon Castle of Ooe is a new roguelike that blends modern design with old. Set in medieval Japan, you take on the role of an exiled warrior tasked with the impossible mission of slaying the legendary demon, Shuten-douji. Stealth, strategy, and a good build will be crucial if you want to survive.

Shadowed is currently in Early access, but is fully playable and completeable.
