Use physics and a freely attachable rope to drag and topple objects.Sneak and explore around the dark and gritty medieval province and use the environment to your advantage - use your rope to grapple onto rooftops, silently drop from ceilings, or veil yourself in the shadows.Suspicious sights and noises will alert the guards - use it to your benefit.
Avoid being seen, heard or getting caught indirectly. Make precision movements to nail each move and try different strategies for the ultimate solution. Carefully rewind time to manipulate your past and present actions to gain an upper hand on the guards.Time is an accomplice - time stands still when you are not controlling Shadwen, allowing you to stop at any point: mid-motion, during jumps, right before a guard sees you.Stay hidden - avoid detection and guards, who will ruthlessly kill you upon capture.With Lily in tow on her quest to kill the King, Shadwen will need to decide whether to kill guards in front of Lily, or find another way to get around the guards so she can "protect the child's innocence." The game also contains moral consequences when it comes to killing which come into play when the game's namesake, the female assassin Shadwen, has a chance encounter with an orphan named Lily.
