In a bustling steampunk city where shadows have a life of their own, players step into the shoes of Sam Shadowhart, an eccentric detective with a peculiar condition: he can converse with shadows. When a series of bizarre disappearances occur, players must interact with the quirky shadows of the city’s residents to uncover who or what is stealing their owners’ physical forms. Solve puzzles, build alliances, and negotiate with shadows that have their own motives, as you traverse through vibrant markets, shadowy alleys, and majestic airship docks. Each choice influences the story, leading to multiple endings based on alliances and betrayals within the shadow realm.
