Review:
As far as I know, this quite the original idea in terms of puzzles, and I am a huge fan of it!
The main aspect of the game is the unique interaction between the shadows and light, which is used very creative manner to challenge the player. I imagine that creating the right shadows by using the assets must have been incredibly hard!
The second best thing about the game is the story. I am impressed as to how much effort was put into a story which relies so heavily on puzzles. The story is simple, yet very relatable and well written.
Then comes the artwork. Although I only know, what is showed in the game about the characters, I really enjoyed how their physical features implies a deeper relationship, as light and shadow is intertwined. And of course the artwork is very well made, and the characters look very cool and interesting!
The graphics were nice and the audio fitting. I did however whish the visuals were a little sharper and the light more glowy/shiny.
All in all a great experience, I enjoyed it very much and will definitely recommend it!
