Shadowgate is a 2014 game available on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. It is published by Zojoi, a company made up of many of those responsible for the original Shadowgate MacVenture and NES game. The game is very faithful in gameplay and style to the original Shadowgate game. It is not a remake, but there are many puzzles and rooms that players of the original game will recognize.

***

This walkthrough is designed to give you just the bare details that you need to beat the game, and will not reveal any story information, only when cutscenes appear.
With rare exception, the walkthrough will only focus on the items you need to beat the game, and will not cover any items that are optional.

This walkthrough is not structured to do things in the least moves possible. The player at times may be able to do things in slightly different order than as specified here and still beat the game.
