How it feels
A beautiful, cooperative puzzle-platformer where you and a friend solve clever light-and-shadow puzzles in a dark, atmospheric world.

What players say
Players praise the clever co-op concept of controlling a boy in 3D and his shadow in 2D, but many find the camera frustrating and the tether mechanic that penalizes separation more annoying than fun. The game is short and best enjoyed with a friend locally, as single-player is tedious and there is no online co-op. Some also note the final boss feels poorly tested.
