“Stars in Shadow is brimming with surprises, the biggest of which may be that it’s a two-man production: a deep 4X with a touch of retro to scratch our MOO itch, enough new ideas to keep it fun and modern, and attention to detail that ties everything together in a compelling and charming universe.” says Oleg Klapovsky, SVP of Business Development & Operations at GOG. “Stars in Shadow is the kind of project we’re delighted to have in our catalog.”

“Stars in Shadow is a turn-based 4X strategy game and a vivid tribute to the genre classics. Compete with alien factions to explore and colonize nearby star systems, build fleets to defend against rivals, negotiate or conquer them. Win by unifying the galaxy, through diplomacy or force.
