There was originally going to be a sequel to the Shadowgate remake in 2016 but it got cancelled, instead they made this which is pretty much the same story with some added things. Just in the old 8-bit style. The Shadowgate remake ending mentions about this game, but the hero was called Del Cottonwood(changed to Thornburrow) and the city was a little differently named, but basically the same. Same plot though, a fenling(basically a race like the hobbits of LOTR) gets thrown into a dungeon and there is a war brewing between Kal Torlin and the neighbouring kingdom, Westland(their king, Jair Cuthegar, is the adventurer and hero from the original Shadowgate, who banished Talimar the Black, the Warlock Lord and the Behemoth). There was also a Beyond Shadowgate game for Turbographix, but it is not made by the original creators, they borrowed some of the ideas and added more humorous and cartoonish elements there. This is the original plan, now as a game. Finally.
Apparently the sequel to the remake was intended to be called Shadowgate 2, which is why this game is called Beyond Shadowgate. I've seen the Turbografx Beyond Shadowgate. It's gorgeous, but pretty bizarre. Thanks for the information!
