Step into the curious town of Licht, where shadows have developed a mind of their own and can take on mysterious forms inspired by the emotions of the townsfolk. You play as Charley, a witty and cynical amateur detective with a knack for blending in with the oddities of the town. When the local shadow puppeteer is found unconscious and their prized puppet—the Shadow of Truth—goes missing, it's up to you to unravel the web of secrets, bizarre relationships, and hidden fears lurking in the heart of Licht. Utilizing a unique dialogue system, you can question townspeople, interact with their shadows, and solve puzzles that reveal emotions and motivations, all while racing against the clock before the shadows decide to leave town for good.
