In a city where shadows hold secrets and can communicate, players take the role of a once-renowned shadow puppeteer, now struggling to make ends meet. After receiving a mysterious message from an old rival, you find yourself in a whimsical adventure to uncover the truth behind a series of strange shadow disappearances. As you navigate various whimsical districts — from the boisterous Carnival of Shadows to the surreal Art Alley — you'll engage with other characters through their shadows, solve enigmatic puzzles, and draw upon your skills as a puppeteer to manipulate shadows for clues. Each choice shapes the narrative, revealing different secrets about the nature of shadow and light, and ultimately leading to an unexpected conclusion that challenges who the true puppeteer really is.
