A new indie game Devoid of Shadows is a 3D action-role-playing game in a vampires’ fantasy world! This is a role-playing game containing the elements of classic roguelikes, advanced crafting system, its own castle and an intriguing storyline.
You will become the heir (or heiress) of Galidon, once the Kingdom’s strongest vampire, who took refuge from the rebels in a mysterious and spooky Blood Labyrinth during a palace coup. Your task is to find the source of ancient Power and uncover the secrets of the Labyrinth.
Random generation
Our game has inherited random generation of the game world from the “roguelikes”, i.e. the look and content of the Labyrinth will be unique in each new game: floors maps, monsters, treasures and hiding places, and even properties of found and created objects will be randomly generated by you. Each time you’ll get a unique experience and find new ways to your goal.
Such unusual behavior of the Labyrinth is justified by the plot – it was created by the Ancients, the ancestor of the vampires’ genus who turned it to his hiding place in a real trap for intruders.
The mines of precious gems and prison catacombs, deserted caves and ancient treasuries – one can hardly understand what the Labyrinth was before it was liked by the Ancient, so many things are mixed in it …
