In 'Whose Shadow Is This, Anyway?', you play as Alex, a witty and cynical private investigator in a bustling metropolis where shadows have taken on lives of their own. Each day, the citizens awaken to find their shadows behaving unpredictably—one is dancing, another is plotting, and yet another is just plain missing. With each puzzle you solve and each character you engage with, you unveil a darker plot behind the phenomenon: a secret society of Shadows that plans to sever their ties with humanity and unleash chaos. Players choose dialogue paths, gather clues, and unravel the mystery behind the shadowy hijinks, all while trying to maintain a grip on their own sanity and humor. The story unfolds based on the multiple interactions with eccentric characters, including an overly dramatic shadow opera singer and an aloof shadow librarian who knows more than she lets on.
