Last year, independent developer Chris Allen launched a classic-style dungeon crawler titled Shade Silver on PC. Currently, players can snag this title for free on Steam, but only until August 21.
To claim your copy, simply visit the Steam page for Shade Silver and obtain it before 10 AM PT on the deadline. Once this window closes, the game will return to its regular price.
In Shade Silver, you step into the role of a wizard named Shade Silver, embarking on a side-scrolling adventure filled with traps, enemies, puzzles, treasures, and even the occasional ogre bribe to progress through 81 levels. Players will face four distinct bosses while discovering numerous secrets throughout their journey.
In addition to Shade Silver, Allen has revealed a trailer for his upcoming game, Vein-Weaver Knitting, with a demo already available on Steam for those eager to try it out.
In other developments, Valve is making changes to enhance the review display on Steam, as seen in their recent announcements regarding Steam review updates and a redesign of game pages to increase visual space for media. However, there’s been ongoing tension in the gaming community regarding content regulation, with movements against adult content leading to the removal or banning of some games.
For instance, the indie horror game Vile: Exhumed, previously banned, is now available as a free download as noted in this article about its release.
For fans of classic gaming experiences, now is the perfect time to grab Shade Silver and dive into its nostalgic dungeon-crawling adventure before the opportunity passes.
