An inexplicable event on the eve of the city’s annual Shadow Festival has unleashed an insidious force, causing shadows to wander free and distort reality. As the detective with the most vibrant shadow of the bunch, you must navigate a series of interconnected stories, interviewing eccentric characters, solving puzzles, and uncovering the truth behind this bizarre phenomenon. Can you determine whose shadow is causing chaos and bring balance back to the city before the shadows consume everything in their path?
