Set in a quirky, offbeat town where shadows behave like living beings, players take on the role of Ray, a cynical shadow detective with a knack for unraveling peculiar cases. Each case involves interacting with a cast of eccentric townsfolk who each have their own peculiar relationships with their shadows. Players must explore the town, gather clues, and solve the mystery of a missing shadow that holds the key to a long-forgotten town secret. The narrative is heavily choice-driven, allowing players to choose different paths and endings based on their detective work and interpersonal interactions.
