Imagine, if you will, a game where characters send you text messages, schedule calendar appointments in your phone’s organiser or set alarms for you. This is the kind of interaction you can expect from Shadow-Born, a new supernatural-themed game for the N-Gage, that could revolutionise what we expect from mobile phone games. As a Shadow-Born being you’re gifted with the rare ability to see the dark truth of the world. Unfortunately it’s a spooky old world, where supernatural beings from your dreams and nightmares surround you and where vampires control corporations and werewolf gangs roam the streets at night.

Shadow-Born promises a genuinely immersive experience, taking gameplay to a new level of player involvement. "We are really pushing the envelope with this game," explains Gregg Sauter, Director of Games Publishing at Nokia. "Whether it's the smartphone functions such as text messaging or your to-do list, or the very fact that your mobile phone is with you wherever you go, no other platform could offer this type of gaming experience."
