About Shadow Complex

Shadow Complex takes place in the compelling universe of Empire based on the best selling novel of Orson Scott Card. It offers a fresh twist on classic side-scroller action by showcasing an original single-player adventure that develops across a range of non-linear levels. Play the character of a lost hiker, Jason Fleming, who discovers a mysterious underground military complex. He and his girlfriend, Claire, accidentally stumble upon a rogue paramilitary group named the Restoration. It then becomes apparent that the faction’s intent is to start a chain of events that will cause America to collapse into a civil war. Mistaken as a government agent, the Restoration captures Claire. This event initially fueled Jason’s drive to find justice moving on to discovers the magnitude of what the sinister offshoot has planned. As the game continues, Jason acquires many high-tech “toys” the Restoration is developing, and eventually becomes a super-powered engine of destruction.

Watch out for Shadow Complex out soon on August 31.
