Ivolgamus are pleased to announce that Fading Shadows, their puzzle-platformer game exclusive to the PSP, is now available in UK stores.

Fading Shadows sees the player faced with the challenge of saving Erwyn, whose death, according to the millennia-old prophecy, will allow evil master Gardal to breach the gates of the Castle of Heaven, the supreme fortress built to protect the world from the forces of darkness. Erywn's soul has been enclosed in a protective orb by his clairvoyant sister, Aira, and the orb must now be safely guided to the Castle of Heaven, using a magical beam of light.

The player must control the beam of light and exploit the state-changing abilities of the orb to fulfil the challenges of the 40 single player levels or 10 multiplayer levels. Pass through swamps, travel over mountains, visit castles and explore deserted cities. Change the orb's form into wood, metal or glass to overcome the obstacles facing you and return Erwyn to the Castle of Heaven.

Offering an entirely unique style of action-packed puzzle gameplay, stunning graphics and visual effects, an immersive storyline, plus a competitive wireless multiplayer game mode, this is the second independent release from Ivolgamus, based in Lithuania.

Fading Shadows will be released on 7th March 2008 at a price of £24.99.
