In 'Whose Shadow Is This, Anyway?', players assume the role of an amateur detective named Charlie Pulp, known for their absurd and often misguided adventures. After receiving a mysterious letter, Charlie finds themselves at an annual shadow convention, where people compete to create the most impressive shadows possible. When one of the participants disappears and shadows themselves begin to act up, it's up to Charlie to uncover a bizarre conspiracy involving shadow manipulation, double-crossing friends, and an eccentric cast of characters. Players must interact with quirky personalities, solve riddles, and unravel pun-filled clues, all while navigating the shadows to discover the truth.
