Quietly standing in the shadow of King's Field are the Shadow Tower games. Their sales were low and they didn't find much love with the critics. Yet Shadow Tower's menacing dark ambience, wholly different from that of it's brethren, has become more potent and more interesting with age. In this video, we'll look into the history of these games, their mechanics, and dig into their hopelessly Stygian atmosphere.
