Keen stumbles upon a strange, distorted message and learns that something called the Shikadi are going to destroy the Milky Way in the name of the Gannalech. He thinks it sounds like a job for Commander Keen, so he dons his brother's football helmet and sets his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket towards Gnosticus IV, the home planet of the Gnosticenes, the guardians of the Oracle.

There, a Council Page tells him the Shikadi had been there, and that they have taken the Council Members and imprisoned them in the Shadowlands, far to the west. This was the easiest way to keep them from interfering, as they are immortal. Keen decides to rescue them and flies to the Shadowlands, where dangerous creatures lurk in the jungles and deserts, caves and even underwater — some of them being native and others what the Shikadi left there to guard the Gnosticenes.

New Goodbye Gallaxy engine

During the development of Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion and Keen Dreams, the Goodbye Gallaxy engine was created. This engine is known for it's tilted view, large backgrounds and more features!
