What players love

What players love

Players praise the art above all, a monochrome Dutch town where a little shadow creature leaps from shadow to shadow, and the wordless story of a person separated from their schim, told in the background of each level. Reviewers call the music calming and the whole thing a cozy afternoon, with the lighting idea, shadows shifting with the time of day, as its standout.
