On a gentle spring evening, without warning or apparent source, chaos
descends upon the once thriving world of Arkose. A coastal town is silently
crushed, leaving piles of dust where people once stood. A pestilence infects
the land. It cares not whom it reduces to a blubbering, raving lunatic. The
infected spend their final days trying to escape from the cluthes of their
own shadows. There is no apparent cure.
The once prominent Gadgeteer race seems to disappear. Hysteria reigns
supreme. Doors are shut tight and towns turn hostile to strangers. Barriers
of all kinds, some quite lethal, spring-up as towns fight off deranged
strangers and the growing horde of bizarre creatures that are some how
connected with the disease. It's as if some immense, demonic nightclub just
shut its doors at 2 AM, spewing its inebriated, bloodthirsty, vicious patrons
out into the world all at once.
A small band of orphans stumbles along seeking help and answers. They are
assisted by numerous characters and confront hordes of vicious and conniving
adversaries. They wander and explore sweeping landscapes, ranging from
fantastic flying cities to haunted villages and mysterious ruins. They must
solve challenging puzzles, complete difficult mini-quests and meet a slew of
quirky beings as they try to solve the mystery of Shadow Madness.
