Overview 
The original design of the never-before seen point and click adventure is being brought to life after 30 years in the vault - Beyond Shadowgate! This new PC game is being created by the designers of the original 8-bit hit Shadowgate and a leading 8-bit adventure studio!
With a world that is over five times larger than Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate captures the same look and feel as the 8-bit console version while including modern design sensibilities. Since the memory and color palette limitations are removed, Beyond Shadowgate is a much longer and vibrant game, with both retro and modern gameplay mechanics that give you the feel of the original! For players accustomed to the NES 8-bit version, the game features XInput controller support. The adventure is also completely playable by mouse and key binds.
Get ready for the ultimate, official Shadowgate sequel!
Story
35 years have passed since Jair defeated the Warlock Lord in the caverns beneath the living castle, Shadowgate. In that time, the land of Kal Torlin prospered and the events of Shadowgate were forgotten. But once again evil is stirring, scheming to bring the world to ruin.
In the dungeons of Gwynenthell, the capital city of Kal Torlin, a lowly Fenling by the name of Del Thornburrow awaits his fate. No stranger to a jail cell, Del soon frees himself from the dangers of the dungeon, only to begin a journey that will push him to the edge of his limits.
Lead Del as he travels through Gwynenthell, across the Torlin Forest, over the Gatekeeper Mountains, and beyond! Uncover plots to overthrow kingdoms that threaten to plunge the land into darkness! Interact with old friends and new, while protecting Del from the traps, hazards, monsters, and every other peril that may introduce him to the ever-present Grim Reaper.

A Million Ways to Die in the Kal Torlin
I have learned about this game from Vargskelethor Joel and I am really glad about that! It is a great experience even though some puzzles could be more logical.

A lot of good, a bit of bad
I'm dreaming since I'm a kid of a sequel for shadowgate. I loved this game on my NES, like many others, for its aesthetic and its dark atmosphere. This game doesn't disappoint: - The game is long and, even if some puzzles are seriously far fetched, it's definitely possible to finish it without any walkthrough. - The atmosphere is intact, and the story is way better than the first game. - I don't think the pixel art is as good as the first game, but it's close. Of course nothing is perfect: - I didn't like the side quests, especially the one from the uninvited. It's not the same universe, to me it broke the immersion. Thankfully they're not that long, but I don't think they're optional either, which is a bit weird for a "side" quest. I might be wrong on this last point though. - The game is a bit too long for my taste. It's a very minor critic, but I think it would have been more cohesive without some parts in the later game. - The puzzles look sometimes dated, which can be a good or a bad thing. I like that (remind me the first game), but for a new comer to the serie it might be very frustrating.

Thank God there is a strategy guide or I would have never made it through the dungeon... or the castle... or the game.
