In shady part of me you go on an adventure to learn to deal with what troubles you. In this game you solve puzzle by using your physical self and your shadow self.

The shadow part of this game is so cool the way the game bends to the environment is amazing. in the shadow part the game becomes a side scrolling platformer.

You will have to move objects in the real world. This allows your shadow self to reach the next checkpoint.

Your real self can’t enter the light, and your shadow self can’t enter shadows.

The animations in this game are incredible everything felt so smooth. The transitions to the next area are so well done 10 out of 10.

If you mess up or miss a jump, there is a rewind feature. It lets you rewind so you can try again.

There is text that pops up in the background. It helps tell the story. It also reveals what this girl is going through and feeling.

I did find it interesting that the “chapters” are called sessions. It helps this game feel like a therapy session and that this girl is getting the help she needs.

There is a collectible to gather along your journey. It is an origami bird. You collect them using both your physical and shadow self.

Should You Play?

YES 100% YES this game is top tier. The story they tell is so well done with great voice acting. You will feel for this girl. Man when she was asked “if she is alright” and she replies “I don’t want to talk about it”. That hit me.

This game is a short game taking about 6 hours if you take your time. With an achievement for standing still or “taking a moment to breath”
