Mastered! Super fun set and some great music
Dinsdale 10 Jan 2023 21:20
Great set, thanks. Really enjoyed this one. Had to think about a few of the achievements but got there in the end :)
terminaldragon 21 Mar 2023 18:29
my first mastery
JebDogg 25 May 2023 14:17
Also my first Mastery :D
Cadex 16 Jun 2023 13:39
Perfectly crafted set, IMHO. Squeezes every last bit of fun out of the game without overstaying its welcome.
PremiumBacon 9 Oct 2023 10:00
Can you please add the achievement for closing all the doors behind you? Something along the lines of "Were you born in a tent?" Something a lot of you may of heard as a kid
pfontaine147 25 Nov 2023 01:27
My first Mastery! Loved this game as a kid. Took a lot of trial and error, but the game does give clues how to solve certain puzzles. Very satisfying and enjoyable to return and play through to completion with the added challenges.
Xerenogan 15 Jan 2024 18:17
That was fun. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that last death... or a number of things for that matter. So that's the nes version eh? Very cool. Thanks for the set.

Great game and a very thorough set. Thank you, it was a blast!
thatoneguy1851 9 Mar 2024 09:42
Mastery #161. Shadowgate is awesome, and this set is more challenging than the original GBC run I did before. Had to plan and pan out my moves carefully, but I got it.
SirYipYap 11 Jul 2024 00:14
Mastered! Had never heard of this game before, and it was a lot of fun! A great classic Point-and-Click RPG experience. Set is really well made too, it complements the game very well and has some fun with it while still having a challenge run achievement.
RoboMech 10 Oct 2024 18:40
The game got a sequel on steam this year (Beyond Shadowgate).
Hitchet 12 Nov 2024 00:30
Mastered. This was definitely the most difficult game in mac-trilogy (Uninvited and Deja Vu). Common-sense in this game completely left the chat. Puzzles are more experimental than logical.

Playing it blind will take hours and hours of guessing the right actions on certain objects. Especially, the moment when you need to enter the crack in the cave, assuming that those black pixels are even enterable? Come on, game. I wonder who managed to beat this back in 1989 without any guides.
orangepeelbeef 31 Dec 2024 01:56
Mastered, what a dose of nostalgia. I think I got about halfway through this game back in the day.

Some of the puzzles definitely were not intuitive and I understand why I didn't beat this back then. As with a lot of adventure/puzzle games of the time, a lot of it ends up trying every item on every object.

Still, game holds up and thank you for the set!
32bitCrush 4 Feb 2025 03:10
This mastery actually left me feeling like I'd gotten as much out of the game as possible. I really feel like I... ya know... mastered it. So, great job with the set! :)
Maltet 27 Mar 2025 22:04
Mastered this hidden gem.
