    A gameplay breaking bug prevented me from playing through or progressing. Extremely frustrating as I was in the last act (ACT IV) and close to the end.
    The last time something like this have happened to me was in the 90s. This is a crap game, don't waste your money, spend it elsewhere.

    If the taste you are looking for is a work of art such as journey, gris, limbo, inside, edith finch with its visuality, storytelling style and game mechanics, this game is definitely not such a game. visually perfect yes, it was this that fooled me too, stole my money and time. But the game is all about push a box, pull a box, turn off the light. no entry, no improvement, no results.

Why did you make a game that is no different from solving sudoku with such a beautiful visual art, why did you end up cursing the game by increasing expectations It is a pity that while it could be a perfect project, one regrets that a newspaper cannot go beyond the additional puzzle.… Expand

    This cute, well-designed and relaxing little gem takes playing with light and shadows to the next level. Its gameplay is based on the cooperation between a little girl that’s afraid of light, and her shadow twin who helps her in her journey through magical, a little surrealistic and beautifully drawn environments.

    Shady Part of Me offers an interesting and entertaining take on the light/shadow dichotomy used as a puzzle mechanic, though the lack of a strong narrative to bind it all together (when one is clearly hinted at throughout) does raise a single but important warning flag.

    Shady Part of Me is an emotional journey that explores the fragile balance between light and shadow.
