Shadwen, the new stealth game from Frozenbyte has a playable Linux demo

Shadwen looks like it might turn a few heads at release, and it certainly seems like it could be interesting to me. There is now a demo available to try out.

It's a little on the rough side right now, but it's showing real promise.

About the game
Shadwen is a stealth-action game where the only rule is to remain unseen. Stay hidden - or the ruthless guards will kill you on sight!

Shadwen, an assassin on a quest to kill the king, has a chance encounter with an orphaned girl, Lily. She follows Shadwen on her dangerous journey, but when the ruthless guards get too close, Shadwen must take action right in front of Lily's eyes.

Will Shadwen risk the girl's budding trust by resorting to violence, or try and find another way while keeping her real purpose concealed?

To kill or not to kill - that is the question.

You can get the demo on GOG and Steam. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The Tutorial is a Pink fullscreen with sound that i can't stop, and i have others bugs, the rope it's taken from Zoya ;) of Trine 3.
I think that it's not more that an alfa code.

The pink screen is a bug.
The stop screen is normal. The game is played so. Things only moves when you move.

So far I haven't managed to finish the level even once.
And yeah, the controls are driving me crazy as well. Definitely don't want to press down Ctrl or SHIFT all the time just to keep the game going.

I think I'll pass. The game looks good. But the controls are simply not my cup of tea.

Great move by Frozenbyte giving away a demo of the game though!

Just turn on time toggle in the keybind menu :)

It's like a time manipulation Tenchu. After you learn how to take out the heavy armor dudes and that holding Ctrl (crouch) runs time, it becomes much more fun. Guess the pink tutorial would have helped.

Does any one else have this demo crash right after launching? (I'm using Debian 8.3 stable/jessie with an HD6970 using the open-source radeon drivers.)
