A gentle, story-driven journey through shadow-puppet worlds with ethereal music and contemplative platforming.

What players say

Players praise the shadow-puppet art style and the original light-and-shadow puzzle mechanic, but many find the controls imprecise and the level design more of a tedious collectathon than a true puzzler. Opinions are split on the puzzle challenge: some find it satisfyingly paced, others find it lacking.
