    White Shadows is a good first game for Monokel. Good graphics, powerful art direction, but it lacks inspiration.

    White Shadows contains a seductive architecture and a perfectly disturbing atmosphere which owes a lot to its sound design. But the trip is not contemplative enough to overcome the lack of energy from which the level design suffers. The game draws on inspirations already very often exploited without managing to stand out during its journey of only 2.5 hours.

    There's no denying that White Shadows' atmosphere and visuals are the stars of the show so I sincerely want to see the developers make a second game that hopefully offers a lot more substantial gameplay and perhaps a narrative that's open to some interpretation.

    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.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.
    The audio deserves a special mention here I think. All in all this was a nice play and I felt well entertained. If you like the likes of Limbo, Inside and Little Nightmares, this will fit just nicely in your library.    … Full Review »
