Apr 8, 2022I thought this was a great little game! Not the longest game, should take a couple of hours to beat it, but this is a fantastic story game. If you like Limbo, Inside, or Little Nightmares, then you’ll like this.

Jan 11, 2022Nice piece of art and good experience! I'm a casual gamer with an overal interest in computer games. This game offers an outstanding story, a deep atmosphere and a nice mix of cultural references that makes it very unique and entertaining. Just fun.

Feb 2, 2022White Shadows is a dark and gritty Orwell-inspired puzzle platformer. You must explore a grim industrial dystopia that will send chills down your spine. It comprises excellent ideas but it fails to evolve in the latter stages.

Dec 20, 2021Overall, if you like dark, dystopian and gritty gameplay experiences, platforming that comes with a difficulty curve that takes some learning, and controls that are simple enough for even gaming casuals to pick up and want something short enough that you can sit through in an evening or two, then White Shadows may be the next game to add to your list. It’s not revolutionary, and there may be better out there, but it’s a good first effort from Monkel.

Dec 10, 2021White 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.
