    Given that this game is the first one from Monokel Games and they created this with just a hand-full of people, this is a solid entry imo.
    Yes, it does not come with a sophisticated gameplay, but if you are like me and enjoy good stories and artful experiences you will not be disappointed.

    Excellent game for the first one by a small team. Great atmosphere, sound and story. I played it through in one go.

    White Shadows offers black and white Orwellian dystopia with great level design and smooth gameplay. It's a shame the game is so short.

    When viewed through a cinematic lens, White Shadows becomes an easy experience to recommend. The wonderful art direction, cinematography, animation (for the most part) and other elements do come together to create a cohesive and visually surprising journey. There’s variety here, quite a bit of it considering the very short runtime. So even though it doesn’t quite emerge, fully formed, from the shadows of Limbo, Abe’s Odyssey, or Another World, White Shadows certainly makes its mark. However fleeting that might be.

    White Shadows does a good job of representing a dark industrial dystopia with an interesting choice of music to accompany some scenes. Yet, some narrative decisions are incoherent, and gameplay is lacking.
