In a bustling underground city where shadows have lives of their own, players take on the role of Marla, a shadow detective with the ability to communicate with these elusive beings. When a series of shadow kidnappings hit the metropolis, it's up to Marla to dive into the twisted underbelly of shadow society, where rival factions vie for power, and betrayal lurks around every corner. Solve riddles, gather clues, and uncover the dark secrets behind the thefts, while building alliances – or making enemies – among quirky shadow characters. Players interact with the environment through text prompts, choosing dialogue and actions that steer the story toward multiple pathways and endings.
