In a bustling urban city overshadowed by a bizarre crime wave, players assume the role of Max, an aspiring stand-up comedian with a penchant for comedic timing and a knack for deduction. When shadows begin to detach from their owners, taking on their own quirky personalities and mischief, Max finds himself caught in a web of hilarious events. As he interviews various eccentrics—from a nervous librarian who thinks her shadow might be a spy, to a washed-up movie star convinced his shadow is trying to steal his spotlight—players must solve the mystery of the runaway shadows, piecing together clues hidden within clever dialogue trees. With wit and comedy at every turn, Max's journey is not just about solving the mystery but using it as material for the perfect punchline in his next big performance.
