Seven Shades

Seven Shades is a cancelled PS2, Xbox, and PC game by Perfect Entertainment and International Hobo. It was to be a 3D RPG-strategy fighting game.

Plot
The setting would be the Honan Empire in China. There is might strife and conflict, with ogres outside the wars, and tyranny inside them. The Seven Shades thus emerge, rumoured to be reborn souls of heroes from long ago.

Gameplay
The game was to be divided into episodes. There was to be seven characters to play as These character's stories would all inter-twine.

The quest is to defeat the three evil beings will terrorize the kingdom.

If you die you can 'Rewrite History' which basically means reloading from a checkpoint. Rewriting history affects the Karma you receive. If you beat an episode without 'rewriting history' you get a No Claims Bonus.

Cancellation
Seven Shades was cancelled when Perfect Entertainment went defunct in 1998. Some ex-employees founded International Hobo in 1999 and brought this idea with them. After a while Seven Shades was finally laid to rest.
