THE MAN WHO KNOWS

PC Zone, Issue 55, October 1997

Moving swiftly on, sinister news reaches me from Middlesbrough, of all places. Local developers Iguana are currently working on Shadowman, based on the comic-book character and due to be published by Acclaim. The game draws heavily on the voodoo aspect of the comics, and it appears that some of the team are becoming far too involved in the project, to the extent that at least one member has undergone psychiatric treatment. As an example of their current state of mind, a request for a brief outline of the game was met with the following poem, printed in a suitably gothic font (see right).

Shadows born at the confluence of worlds to move between.
Dead Side: partly living, the Asylum of the Heart - where darkness manifests at the edge of reason.

The horror.
The horror.
