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.
