Shadowy Contracts, a stealth RPG by solo developer Mark Nasr, is set to arrive on Steam Early Access on Thursday, Oct. 3
Set in a large open world inspired by the Dark Ages and sword-and-sorcery movies, the game has a straightforward premise: Take on contracts and eliminate targets for gold … or die trying!
In keeping with RPG standards, gold can be used to purchase weapons, armor, and effects/enchants. At the start of Early Access, 52 weapons, 38 armor sets, and 21 weapon effects/enchants will be available – with more to come in the near future. Successful assassins can also use their revenue streams to hire and lead mercenaries into battle – raising the stakes in a big way.
