2026年1月15日
Styx: Master of Shadows is an infiltration game with RPG elements taking place in a dark fantasy universe, where you sneak, steal and assassinate your way through as Styx, a Goblin two-centuries of age.
概要
Dive into a hardcore stealth-RPG where shadows are your only ally. Play as Styx, a two-century-old goblin, as he ascends the immense Tower of Akenash to steal the heart of the World-Tree. In this unforgiving dark fantasy, direct confrontation is a death sentence—cunning, verticality, and magical Amber powers are your tools for survival.
ストーリー
Styx, the very first of all Goblins, is tormented by the confused memories of his past. Desperate for the magical sap of the World-Tree to uncover his origins and gain infinite power, he must infiltrate a vertiginous fortress guarded by Elves and Humans. As he climbs closer to the tree's heart, political intrigue and twisted secrets reveal a narrative far darker than simple theft.
Gameplay
Built on a foundation of 'pure stealth,' the game discourages combat by making Styx physically weak against armed guards. Success requires mastering light and shadow, navigating dizzying vertical environments, and utilizing magical abilities. Players must create clones to distract enemies, turn invisible to cross open ground, and orchestrate 'accidents' to eliminate targets without raising alarms.

The Goblin's Creed
Unlike typical heroes, Styx is small, ugly, and weak. He cannot parry endless blows. If you are surrounded, you will die. This vulnerability creates genuine tension, forcing you to think like a thief, not a warrior.
