Wiggling their way out of bounds isn't a new trick for speedrunners by any means, but what's waiting beyond the walls in stealth romp Styx: Shards Of Darkness was not at all what I expected. As part of Summer Games Done Quick earlier today, speedrunner "Tohelot" shows off how he's able to skip through sections of the game by activating secret logic flowcharts that can be found physically hanging around beneath the level.

This update is available for download right now on Steam. Here’s a summary to help you understand how the new system works: Only the Host can save the game, with the following limitations: Only Autosaves & Manual Saves (The “Save” option from the Pause Menu) are available. Quicksaves (F5 / D-Pad Right) are not available. The Client cannot save. The Host cannot save if the Client is performing an action like Jumping or Killing. When both players die, the Host can choose which save file to load. At the end of the Loading Screen, the Client will be in Spectator Mode and has to spawn. Every time the Host saves, the save file is sent to the Client which stores it locally. This means: The Client can store locally up to 3 Multiplayer save files. The Client can later use this Multiplayer save file in Solo. However, when loaded, the Client will always start at the beginning of the Sector (though their character progression and inventory will stay intact). If the Client leaves the Host’s game but decides to come back shortly after, their Profile choice will be overriden by their local Multiplayer save. This is due to the assumption that the player will want to use their latest save if they decide to come back to a game they just left. Thanks again for all your feedback and comments - they’ve been a great help in our improvement of Styx’s latest adventure!Multiplayer Saves Added!Apr 18, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/16/1492530583-styx-winter-tease.gif Hi everyone, Thanks to all your comments and feedback, we’ve just added a much-requested feature to Styx: Shards of Darkness – a multiplayer save system!

Styx returns in a new stealth adventure!

Wot I Think Styx: Shards Of DarknessMar 14, 2017 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunA few years ago, I probably would have forgiven Styx: Shards of Darkness a multitude of sins (and though there is not a multitude, there is one honking great sin). A proper stealth game that isn’t low-rent or poorly balanced, with a choice of paths and abilities but which doesn’t devolve into routine action – we didn’t used to get too many of them. Recent times have given us new Dishonoreds and Deus Exes and Metal Gear Solids and Hitmen, endless Assassin’s Creeds and even a so-so Thief, the game Styx most resembles. Hell, even the new Zelda game has a functional stealth element to it. We are spoilt for stealth choice, and that makes this fantasy wall-hugging sequel a tough sell. What it’s got on its side is purity. What it has against it is its lead character. … Watch the Launch Trailer!Mar 10, 2017 - Community Announcementshttps://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/10/1489140321-styx-narrative-gif-1.gif Styx: Shards of Darkness is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC!
