Shadownaut

Story

Uncover your past in a chaotic city controlled by men and enforced by machines. Battle your way through armies of government enforcers, religious zealots, and corporate mercenaries to find the origin of your power.

Gameplay

Influenced by Shinobi, Rolling Thunder, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and others. Gameplay is focused on close combat with an emphasis on timing and decision making. Two buttons and directional control with an attempt to keep the control and moveset as simple but flexible as possible.

Visuals

It will make particular use of ZX Spectrum-style attribute clash to simulate atmospheric lighting and other effects. It will also stick as closely as possible to ZX Spectrum colour/attribute limitations (although not necessarily memory and CPU limits!).
