Beyond Shadowgate is now available for Windows on GOG.com* and Steam, launching an old-school point-and-click adventure from Zojoi and GrahfMetal (thanks Indie Retro News). How old-school? Well, not to be confused with the TurboGrafx CD sequel of the same name discussed in this Wikipedia article, this is a sequel to the original Shadowgate from 1987. This was funded by a Kickstarter from the original developers, who also released a Shadowgate remake about 10 years ago. Here's a trailer showing off gameplay, and here's word:

The original design of the never-before seen point and click adventure is being brought to life after 30+ years in the vault - Beyond Shadowgate! This new PC game is being created by the designers of the original 8-bit hit Shadowgate and a leading 8-bit adventure studio!

With a world that is over five times larger than Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate captures the same look and feel as the 8-bit console version while including modern design sensibilities. Since the memory and color palette limitations are removed, Beyond Shadowgate is a much longer and vibrant game, with both retro and modern gameplay mechanics that give you the feel of the original! For players accustomed to the NES 8-bit version, the game features XInput controller support. The adventure is also completely playable by mouse and key binds.
