    White Shadows tackles heavy themes with some wonderful storytelling. The gameplay itself is competent, and there is enough variety level to level to make the experience fresh throughout. Through stark visuals and a well placed soundtrack it presents its tale artfully, but unfortunately runs its course in only a few hours. It's hard to squeeze a great deal of game from the experience, but what is there is splendid.

    White Shadows is a dark and oppressive experience, but don’t write it off. It’s reminiscent of Limbo and the like, but homages can be a good thing at times. It is criminally short, however, and would have really benefited from a bit more challenge and/or length in its puzzles. If you enjoy your misery in small bursts, this will be for you.

    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 »
