In The Shadows

Get it on sale. It's cute and worth a few hours.

In The Shadows is a game that deserves much more attention. The beautifully crafted voxel 2D world compliments the lighting and colours, to create various tones to deliver each chapter of the game. With each chapter a new mechanic is introduced to the player. First by offering a simple puzzle to demonstrate how it works, before being gently lead into more challenging but fair scenarios, which make you think about how to use the world and the mechanics in front of you. The mechanics, while fairly simple, introduce new ways of solving and thinking about puzzles, all of which reinforce the key themes of the game; light/dark and the passage of time. At just over 2 hours long (In my experience) for the core game, it offers a concise but interesting experience. Would recommend.

Such a lovely indi game, fallen plague to getting burried in all the other Steam games. It's a puzzle/platoformer that consistest arounds solving levels that are a part of a few larger hub worlds. As for the story, it is a sweet, simple premise about light, darkness and what may be hiding In The Shadows...

This game is super relaxing from the artwork to the music. You could go from beginning to end in this game fairly quickly but if you are looking to 100% the story of the game along with all of the achievements, it can be quite challenging. Some of the star collectibles can be a real brain twister to collect and there are a few hidden rooms that can be pretty tough to find. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun experience with a touching story tucked into it as well.

Nice game.

グラフィックやBGMはかなり高品質。日本語訳も問題なし。 ただパズルのギミックが敵キャラの動きを制御しなくてはならないものが多くちょっと面倒。 後半難易度が上がるのに対し攻略情報がネット上に全然見つからないので雰囲気ゲームとして触ると痛い目を見るかも。

A cool pixel-puzzler with light/shadow mechanics at its core.
