00:02Hi, my name is Mo, Head of Design from Mimimi Games.
00:06This is Shadow Gambit, the Cursed Crew, a stealth strategy game where you join the Red Mali,
00:12a living ghost ship sailing the Caribbean during an alternate history of the Golden Age of Piracy.
00:19Here, the dead are restless and the air is laced with soul magic,
00:23which grants your crew supernatural powers to help execute the perfect mission.
00:31Do you enjoy stealth games where you can observe your enemies and sneakily outsmart them
00:36with a mixture of distractions, careful timing, and attacks?
00:41No hard feelings!
00:43Do you like strategy games that offer a focused experience with unique encounters
00:47solved by a mix of experimenting and carefully considered tactics?
00:51Always a pleasure!
00:54We love playing these games too, and for over 8 years we've made stealth strategy games
00:59which combine our favorite parts of each genre.
01:03That'll do!
01:04We design our games so you can experiment and discover your unique solution to every encounter.
01:09Enjoy death! It's gonna last a while!
01:12We first revived the stealth strategy genre with Shadow Tactics
01:15and followed this up with Desperados 3 to critical acclaim.
01:19Heh, not too shabby!
01:21Shadow Gambit is our latest, where you play the Cursed Pirate Crew of the Red Mali.
01:26Using the ship's time manipulation powers and the unique magical skills of your crew,
01:31you'll go on a heist across a variety of islands to find a mysterious treasure.
01:35All while being hunted by the Inquisition of the Burning Maiden,
01:38a devout army that despises cursed pirates like you and your crew.
01:42Face the Maiden's wrath, pirate!
01:45We love the top-down tactical perspective, because it gives you all the information you
01:49need to plan out your stealthy strategy.
01:52This allows you to command multiple characters to work as a team.
01:56For example, splitting up one crew member to distract a guard several meters away,
02:00while the other takes down their Inquisition friend.
02:03Stay down, will you?
02:04The game is designed so you can know where every guard is looking,
02:08when you're visible or hidden, who will hear the noise made by your attacks, and more.
02:15These tools are designed so when you get caught,
02:20you know it's because of something you overlooked,
02:22not because the game had you at an unfair advantage.
02:25Let's try that again.
02:27Just because you have access to all this information,
02:29doesn't mean it's going to be a relaxing day at the beach.
02:33You'll have to think hard about how to get past areas,
02:36where there might be one or more enemies,
02:38who will spot you right away if you try to take out one of their friends.
02:42You're bound to slip up eventually.
02:44What happened here?
02:45That's why at any moment,
02:47you can use the Red Marley's magical time-manipulating powers
02:51to reset time and retry an encounter.
02:54Haha, see you on the other side.
02:57We want you to feel like a mastermind,
02:59after experimenting and then executing a beautifully planned attack.
03:03I like your way of doing things.
03:06A key part of our game's design is your ship's magical ability
03:09to completely stop time so you can think of your next move.
03:13Whether you want to find a safe spot to hide,
03:16or you just don't like thinking in real time and would rather stop,
03:19plan, cue up a character's action and then execute it.
03:25You are always the one in control.
03:28Resistance is pointless.
03:30To defy the Inquisition, you'll need to find the legendary Black Pearls,
03:35whose soul energy can be used to unlock new crew members.
03:39Their special magical abilities provide unique tactical options,
03:43especially when you mix and match who you send on each mission.
03:46I heard that!
03:47In this trailer, we're showing three out of the eight members of your cursed pirate crew.
03:52The first is Aphia, the ship's adventurous and lethal navigator.
03:57Removing a magical sword from her own chest grants her the ability to dash across space-time
04:02for kills which happen in the blink of an eye.
04:05Mr. Mercury, the shipwright and caretaker of the Red Marley,
04:09is the jokester and infiltrator of the crew.
04:11He carries an anchor, which allows him to open a portal to the shadow seas,
04:15where he lies in wait before going in for a kill.
04:19Gone to the fishes!
04:21His abilities get him past enemy view cones and even through fortress walls.
04:26Also, his fish companion, Sir Reginald, helps him distract guards.
04:33Gael Le Brie is the master cannoness.
04:36She excels at positioning by using her cannon to suck in
04:39and launch fellow crewmates to hard-to-reach places.
04:43Or load Inquisition enemies into her magical cannon
04:47and send them where they'll cause you less trouble.
04:52The Red Marley's power to stop time makes it easy to control three characters at once.
04:57For example, here we have three enemies, all within view of each other.
05:01If we take any one of them out, the others will spot us immediately.
05:06So, I'm going to position our crew to take out one each.
05:10We'll stop time, set Aphia to kill this enemy,
05:15Gael to knock out this guard,
05:17and Mr. Mercury to emerge and take out the last one.
05:20With our actions set, when I press Execute, all three actions will happen simultaneously.
05:26A dazzling display!
05:29This is an advanced technique which helps you take out large groups of enemies,
05:34but it's perfectly valid to take out every guard one by one.
05:38We made the game so you can play the way you want.
05:41If you want to hide and observe, you can even speed up time
05:44so you don't have to wait long for a patrol to come back around.
05:48In each island's mission, you have the freedom to decide where you want to enter and exit.
05:52You can survey each point to find one to your liking before deploying.
05:57Through the below we go.
05:59Shadow Gambit isn't made to push you towards a solution which we designed.
06:03We're giving you a variety of tools to find your own unique strategies
06:06via the time manipulation power of the Red Marley
06:09and the magical skills of your cursed pirate crew.
06:13This is just a small look at Shadow Gambit the Cursed Crew.
06:17On your quest to find a mysterious treasure of otherworldly power,
06:21there will be many challenges and story missions spread across multiple exotic and handcrafted islands,
06:26which once discovered, you'll be able to explore freely in a non-linear order.
06:31Each unlockable member of your cursed pirate crew has their own set of character missions,
06:36which will flesh out their stories.
06:41And follow along for more updates in the coming months before release.
06:46We'll see you on the high seas!
