In a world where shadows have lives and personalities of their own, players take on the role of a shadow who has become self-aware and is trying to solve the mystery of its own existence. The shadows of various eccentric characters—a paranoid detective, a flamboyant artist, and a brooding philosopher—collide as they navigate relationships, misunderstandings, and the absurdities of their glowing counterparts. Players must interact with their human and fellow shadow characters, piecing together clues from gossip, shadow puppetry, and misplaced items to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to sever the bond between shadows and their humans forever.
