Step into mid-19th century London in "The Crown's Shadow," a point-and-click adventure game where you assume the role of Thomas Llewellyn Thorn, an elite agent of the Crown's Shadow. Tasked with uncovering a treacherous plot against the British government, you must infiltrate the home of a high-ranking official, Sir James Graham, to gather critical evidence. Navigate dialogue trees, solve puzzles, and make choices that will determine the fate of the nation.

The game is set during the lead-up to the Crimean War, a period of intense political manoeuvring and intrigue that culminated in a conflict that changed the face of Europe.

Find yourself in a world of espionage, deception, and historical intrigue, where every decision could mean the difference between success and betrayal. Can you uncover the truth and protect the realm? The safety of the empire lies in your hands.

*Due to a game engine bug and limited time, most game mechanics were not implemented for this game. What I present is a small proof of concept, albeit a very basic one. It was my very first go at pixel art, and I underestimated the time it would take to create it. I'm pleased I can submit something for this Jam, and I had a lot of fun creating and building this game.
