22 Oct — Introducing Shadow Cities

You nearly trip yourself stepping out of the tram but your eyes never leave the phone’s screen. It’s glowing blue and you can see shapes forming around you. You knew the morning rush hour would bring enemy mages here so the traps laid late last night are exactly in the right place. You walk the last mile to your office drawing rune after rune on the device’s touch screen. Just as you are stepping in, the view lights up. The decoys have worked and now the traps are unleashing their payloads on the poor suckers that didn’t know any better. The screen flickers and grows dim again as last of the enemy mages has been defeated. This neighborhood belongs to you and nobody better forget it.

Shadow Cities is a location based MMORPG for iPhone. We are redesigning mobile gaming from the ground up and combining local, location aware, gaming with global web gaming. You can play with your friends wherever you are. Every city on the planet will become part of the game.

You take a role of inexperienced mage and start exploring your city with new eyes. Once mundane places get a new meaning as you learn their magical properties. Your office building might just be the most important spot in the whole city. As you level up, you get to choose what kind of mage you want to be. Do you help others in their tasks or concentrate on battling with your enemies.

Look around. Your city is a game.
