    Very grateful to past me who made extensive notes on the last game we localised so I can revisit the charming pitfalls for Shadowhand Solitaire. Such delights as non-breaking space, French chevrons, en dash, ellipsis, weird single/double quotation variants etc.

    Hi, I'm Jake Birkett from Grey Alien Games. Been an indie dev for 20 years and I'm working on Shadowhand Solitaire, a casual version of our 2017 game, Shadowhand. I'm also the guy that made that GDC talk back in 2016 about never having a hit game (still true).

    Forbidden Solitaire is quite fun. It's like a weird scary 90s point and click adventure game had a baby with Shadowhand Solitaire (or Regency Solitaire, but with combat). It's tripeaks/golf style solitaire but you have to rack up combos to defeat enemies. But it's not so scary that I can't play it!

    However, we struggled with sales of Shadowhand Solitaire on the casual sites despite it being as good a game because the name is unrelated. Maybe the theme was also a factor. Perhaps if we'd called it Regency Solitaire Prequel or something it would have sold better.

    In the choice between playing the critically acclaimed Metaphor Refantazio or the latest Solitaire game from Grey Alien, the answer is obvious. Gotta get every achievement in Shadowhand Solitaire.

    Thanks for the invite! Actually our latest Shadowhand Solitaire game isn't turn-based any more sorry. It's using the original turn-based engine but now you just have to beat the solitaire puzzles to defeat the enemy.

  • David Lindsey Pittman @dphrygian.comBluesky · May 1, 2026

    Do they ever! I highly recommend Regency Solitaire I & II and Shadowhand Solitaire. And the original Shadowhand and Ancient Enemy are similar games with more mechanics layered on top of the core card game.

  • Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie @greyalien.bsky.socialBluesky · Nov 25, 2024

    Ok nice! Thanks. Just be aware that Shadowhand Solitaire is a casual version of the same game. So if you've had your fill of the original one, then you can refund the casual one. OR if you switch over to the casual one because you bounce off the combat, you can refund the original! Or keep both ;-)

    Shadowhand Solitaire is a casual version of the original game in which we've removed the turn-based combat and simplified the inventory system. Now to beat the enemies you simply need to clear the cards or earn stars depending on the difficulty mode. More info: steamcommunity.com/app/3199380/...

    Next finish: Shadowhand Solitaire Nice reimplementation of Shadowhand, which was my first Grey Alien game. Tones down a few of the more "video gamey" aspects and makes it a bit easier to dip into for a casual audience. As with the original version, highway robbery is nice (and underused) premise

    Oh really? Nice. Don't know if you've seen our other game like Regency Solitaire II, Shadowhand Solitaire, Ancient Enemy etc.
