You manipulate light and shadow as a two-dimensional persona, solving physics-based puzzles through quiet exploration of a memory palace.

What players say
Players praise the shadow-based mechanic as creative and the minimalist art style as effective, but opinions split on the story: some find it emotionally resonant while others call it shallow and cliché. The game is short, around two hours, and controls take time to get used to.
