In a world where shadows are sentient beings that can swap places with their owners, players step into the shoes of Max, a shadow-play artist whose work takes a dark turn when he discovers that the shadows of others carry secrets and violence. The game unfolds in a vibrant city where players must interact with NPCs to uncover dark truths about these living shadows, solve puzzles based on shadow manipulation, and navigate moral dilemmas that affect the community. Is your shadow your ally, or is it plotting against you? As the lines between shadow and reality blur, players must decide whose shadow to trust.
