How it feels

A contemplative, shadow-puppet journey through a grey world, where you gently overcome internal struggles to find small moments of joy.

What players say

Players praise Light & Shadow as a short, relaxing platformer with beautiful music and a striking shadow puppet art style. Its mental health themes about anxiety and depression resonate, but some find the gameplay repetitive, with too much time spent collecting music notes and little challenge.
