In a quirky metropolis where shadows are sentient beings, players assume the role of a down-on-their-luck private investigator named Max Talon, who is tasked with solving the mystery of a missing shadow from the city's elite. Navigate through a vividly text-based world filled with eccentric characters, each linked to their own shadows with unique personalities and secrets. As players engage with the environment, they will gather clues, interrogate shadow-spirits, and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to unravel the fabric of the city. Each choice you make will affect the outcome of the case and your relationship with your own shadow, who surprisingly has its own opinions about the investigation. Uncovering the truth may require a few backstabs (figuratively and literally) and some clever use of wordplay to negotiate with shadowy figures. Choose wisely—the fate of you and your shadow hangs in the balance!
