In a bustling metropolis where shadows have begun to detach from their owners and take on lives of their own, players step into the shoes of Jace, an overworked private investigator with a knack for sarcasm and a talent for solving unusual cases. Jace must navigate a world where people's shadows carry out odd tasks, from starting gourmet food trucks to forming secret societies. As they interact with quirky characters – both human and shadow – players gather clues, form alliances, and ultimately uncover the dark (and sometimes absurd) truth behind this bizarre phenomenon. The choices made throughout the game will lead to a variety of endings, where the distinction between shadow and substance becomes hilariously blurred.
