You play as Max, a cynical detective stuck in a bizarre parallel realm where shadows have minds of their own. Shadows act out their owners' hidden desires and regrets, leading to chaos and hilarity. As Max, you must interrogate various shadowy characters, solve riddles that reveal dark secrets, and ultimately uncover the truth behind the bizarre happenings in this offbeat world. With each clue you discover, the boundary between light and dark becomes fuzzier, revealing gags and truths as absurd as they are profound.
