In a world where shadows have personalities and are capable of actions independent from their hosts, players take on the role of a cynical shadow detective named Shade. After a series of bizarre disappearances connected to rogue shadows, Shade must navigate a quirky city brimming with eclectic characters—from shadowy criminals to overly dramatic light sources—to unravel the mystery.
