In a quirky metropolis where shadows take on lives of their own, players step into the shoes of Max, a washed-up detective with a knack for getting things hilariously wrong. When citizens start losing their shadows, it’s up to Max and his talking shadow, Sid, who may or may not have a mind of its own, to uncover the truth behind a bizarre shadow-stealing conspiracy. As players interact with zany townsfolk, solve puzzles, and navigate morally grey decisions, they’ll encounter dark humor and light-hearted scenarios that tie together the fates of those whose shadows are at stake.
