Hidden Shadows by Artur Hawkwing
Banished to a realm of shadows and darkness by the Necromancer Alaeaus, you are desperately seeking an escape. But every move, it seams, causes the shadows to cling to you all the tighter. They weaken your senses, darken the world, and threaten to prevent you from escaping this curse. And after all, the more shadows you have, the worse it gets.
Use multiple camera angles, including a special 'army view' you can use when commanding your soldiers against the forces of Alaeaus!
Silent Shadowmen lurk in the dark, and pedestals spawn shadow-spheres that track you down until you are left in darkness--unless you shoot them down first! Both shadowman and shadow-spheres can be killed.
Note: Some scenes take a few moments to load, the buttons do work :)
Controls: W - forward S - backward A - turn left D - turn right Mouse X axis - rotate view Left click - attack Right click - change camera view Space - jump
Controls and game data also are listed under "Mechanics" in the main menu.
Have fun!!!! --Artur Hawkwing

Good animations for a 3D game in 48 hours. I liked the story.
And no Y-axis camera control? Seriously?
But as a concept the game is fine... If only it wasnt' so much PvUI..
Also, short after starting I did fall from the map, upon exploring xD
The controls were a bit weird, I felt like the rotation could simply be handled by the mouse. Which could maybe benefit from the Y-axis, like Hilvon referred.
Good job on adding a pause menu, however if I paused mid attack, the sounds kept playing, I thought I had bugged the game. I also liked the animations, and the shadowmen have a mysterious and good looking model.
It's a good concept, and surely is a prototype worth development. Nice job :)
I best the game, but when I jumped into the yellow thing left by the spinning orb it took me back to the second level.
I need closure, please DM me the ending.
Here is a synopsis of what the game skipped:
After reaching the key, you are presented with a message describing how you return to your native world, with an army of freed Shadows. In a 5th level, you battle Alaeas's army in from of his castle with these allies. After defeating him and his army, you banish the remants of evil left by Alaeas.
The controls were a bit tough, and I will be fully honest in saying I did not finish the game but I feel like I have a good feel for what's there.
Overall it was enjoyable once I got the feel for things, and you can tell that there was some serious work put into it!
