Shadwen is a third-person stealth-action game, developed by Frozenbyte and available for the PlayStation 4. The game follows Shadwen, an assassin on a mission to kill the king, who meets an orphaned girl named Lily. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey where staying hidden is the only rule. The game offers players the choice to kill or not to kill, and the consequences of their actions will affect the story's outcome.

The game's environment is set in a dark and gritty medieval province, where players can explore and sneak around. The game's mechanics allow players to use the environment to their advantage, such as using a rope to grapple onto rooftops, silently dropping from ceilings, or hiding in the shadows. Time stands still when the player is not moving, allowing for strategic planning and the ability to rewind time to manipulate actions. Shadwen can also use physics and a freely attachable rope to drag and topple objects, making deaths look accidental. The game also offers the ability to set up traps and hazards to lure guards towards their untimely demise. Overall, Shadwen offers an exciting and challenging gameplay experience for players who enjoy stealth-action games.
