Shadow Gambit The Cursed Crew Walkthrough

Ash lives in the quiet space between attention and absence — a watcher, a listener, a boy most people overlook. In a world where secrets are currency and truth is never simple, he trades in glimpses and guesses, building a life out of things left unspoken. As he follows the threads of knowledge, strange talents, and quiet possibility, he begins to uncover something more personal than mystery: potential. Not quite a thief, not quite a spy, and not quite ordinary, Ash walks the line between what is and what might be. His journey isn't about saving the world — it's about discovering what he might be to it.

Lilith was born with forbidden magic, a power feared and condemned in her village. She hid it for years, but when her secret is exposed, she is betrayed by her family and sentenced to burn. Just as the flames rise, Prince Hades of Valyron known as the "Shadow of Death" saves her, driven by curiosity. Hades, cursed for over three centuries, hides his torment behind cruelty. As Lilith sees past his darkness and vows to help him break the curse, their bond deepens into something undeniable. But in a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, will her light free him, or will their love lead to their destruction? EXCERPT Lilith barely breathed as Hades emerged from the shadows of her chamber, his presence wrapping around her like night itself. She should move. She should run. But she didn’t want to. He reached for her, his fingers trailing along her bottom lip—slow, deliberate. She shivered, not from fear, but from him. Lilith swallowed, her pulse a traitorous drumbeat. “Please… let me touch you, Hades.” A ghost of a smile tugged at his lips, but there was no humor in it. “Dangerous little thing.” His thumb lingered at the corner of her mouth, as if memorizing its shape. He whispered, tilting her chin up as his lips hovered near hers—so close she could feel his breath. “You will destroy me, little witch,” he murmured, his voice thick with something raw. “And yet… I can’t let you go.” His gaze burned into hers as he added, “I would let you drag me to hell if that’s what you desired.”

This story began long ago, in a timeline no one can reach. A forgotten heir. A fallen prince. An adopted noble. A person seen as both a threat and a blessing.

The events of this age shift the foundations of civilization itself. In this delicate balance between salvation and destruction, what is good and what is necessary are often unclear. Abyssals. Primordials. Existentials. Everyone tried to stop it—but it was inevitable. The prince’s gambit has already been played. This is the quiet unfolding of a future no one can stop. The gambit begins now.

Armed with the knowledge granted to him by a clandestine organization, he would expand his power, refine his magic, build connections, and ensure retribution upon his foes.

Weewooweewoo! As the latest agent recruited by the Bureau of Paranormal Activity, Catheris Orial–suffice to say–is NOT having a swell time being dragged around. His mentor is kind of a deadbeat; he has to wake up way too early; it's obviously not fun getting jumped on the job; and oh… oh that damned partner of his…! Catheris never asked for any of this–in fact he didn't want the job in the first place; he was already a tailor. Rather, he was forced into this by an unexpected roommate. He knew that moving to a new place would bring along some uncertainties and surprises, but having a demon was NOT what he had in mind. It’d never show itself and would fuck up his kitchen for whatever petty reason. He didn't care about that, why would he? He found it a tad bit amusing–until its behavior had a drastic change. He found himself having episodes: clawing at his neck, unable to breathe. Suddenly, he’d wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, chest tight before he’d notice the wetness on his cheeks–crying searing hot ink again. The most jarring thing was how it’d appear in his liminal dreams. He wasn't the paranoid type, but he wasn't stupid–it was all real. That’s when he unfortunately met Detective Mr. Beo, who offered him a deal–either suffer, or let the government study him. Unfortunately, said detective is also his partner. But… the other coworkers aren't so bad. In conclusion the man is fucked, literally and metaphorically.
