When he finally liberates his 'friend', he discovers that it is a creature identical to himself. Styx desires to reach the heart of the World-Tree and rescue an imprisoned friend elsewhere in the fortress, but he doesn't know why he wants to do these things: he suffers from confused memories and a voice in his head that prods him on. Taking place before the events of the previous game, Styx infiltrates the Tower of Akenash, a massive flying fortress held aloft by the magic of the World Tree, around which the fortress was built.

Styx: Master of Shadows also includes RPG game mechanics, the player gains experience, which can unlock new skills, special moves, new and more lethal weapons, all divided into six talent trees. The player is expected to keep a low profile and prepare a course of action beforehand: study the guard patrols closely, use areas of light and shadow to one's advantage, lure a target to a secluded area to assassinate him silently, or arrange 'accidents' to remain undetected. Guards, soldiers and other protectors of the Tower will adapt their behavior dynamically, depending on the player's actions. It gives the player a clone for purposes such as scouting without risk and creating a diversion.

His ability to clone himself through magic offers opportunities to disrupt the traditional stealth gaming formula.

Styx has arcane abilities that assist him in his escapades, including the ability to make himself invisible (also featured in Of Orcs and Men), and the ability to use amber-vision to detect hidden foes and areas. Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth game where the player must keep to the shadows to survive. The game is a prequel, and the second video game to take place in the world established by 2012's Of Orcs and Men. Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth video game developed by Cyanide Studios for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
