Shadows

SHADOWS

Stripped to the shadows. Now find what you really are.

You wake up cold and bare on an empty, fog-covered street, stripped of everything you were. You're only a shadow now, and the world has no place for you. The only way out is forward, so you set out to find your true form.

But this world is hostile, and the light is its weapon.

AVOID THE LIGHT

Light burns you. Every lamp and beam of light is a danger zone that will hurt and eventually destroy you. Read the space, time your movements and stay in the dark.

FEATURES

• An atmospheric journey. A short, story-driven side-scrolling platformer set in a grey, silent city.
• Eerie music and sound. A haunting soundtrack that makes every step feel uneasy.
• Inner-monologue storytelling. Dialogue unfolds as you move, and the shadow reflects on who it was and what it's becoming.
• Light-avoidance puzzles. Work out how to get past lit areas without getting burned.
• Movement-based challenges. Combine running, jumping, dashing and dropping to cross dangerous obstacles.
