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. Deep inside the vertiginous and multi-layered forsaken Tower of Akenash, where Humans and Elves protect the World-Tree, source of the Amber – a powerful and magical golden sap – is hidden Styx’ chance to understand his true origin... and to make a fortune at the same time. Styx is a cunning goblin gifted with dark magic and unmatched skill in stealth and thievery. He sets his sights on the Tower of Akenash, a colossal fortress held aloft by the power of a great World Tree at its heart. Slipping past its guards and defenses, Styx seeks to reach the tree's core and claim the priceless amber said to reside there. Driven by clouded memories and a whispering voice in his mind, he descends deep into the tower toward secrets far greater than he expects.
