Interesting product ... but not for me ... its a mix of 3d with 2d ... with puzzle box pushing elements ... with a dash of generic meh

You run around in 3d environments and your shadow is locked in 2d projections ... going to find a glue to be whole again or DIE ..

So why was is meh ... its presentation is 'been there done that'... its just stiff , it does not have enough crazy things ... to make you play ... its story just does not care about itself ...phfff fuck you - said the writer ... figure it by yourself - said the story line

It's one of those games, that wanted to be original ... and stole 2 game mechanics from two others games ... 'Brothers - tale of two sons' and 'Contrast' ... uniqueness by theft ... its like bullet time that later became slomo

So lets compare it, to those two games ... it's not like Brothers ... it does not have graphics/Ost/story that grips your heart ... nor its like Contrast, that had this strangeness, mixed with an sexy design ... to be frank , Shadow Puppeteer its generic ... and that hurts to look at

Also by some strange means its locked into 1176x664 internal render resolution, that is stretched into 720 or 1080 ... making it look even horrible then it is ...
