Light & Shadow

Light & Shadow is one of those free games you want to love. The shadow puppet art style is interesting. Cutscenes as live puppet recordings, very cool. The BGM is beautifully melancholic, and the game story is about mental health narrative about anxiety and depression. Performance was flawless. Running off a Micro SD card on Windows 11, the game locked to 120fps on my laptop's display. My wired PS5 controller worked without a hitch. And the game is under 1GB. The gameplay is rough. Not a good platformer. Verdict: Download it for the art, the thoughtful mental health themes. Just go in knowing the platforming is a hurdle, not a highlight.

Great artstyle and sound but the gameplay is EXTREMELY boring. 90% = run around doing nothing but collect music notes. The rest = run away from bugs. I wanted to see the end but the levels feel like they never end. Guess I'll just Youtube it, instead.

A short but visually striking experience. Light & Shadow delivers great atmosphere and strong visuals, making it an enjoyable play from start to finish. It’s on the shorter side, but the presentation really carries it. I’d love to see save slots or chapter selection added in the future, as it would make revisiting the game for achievements and story moments much more convenient. Overall, a solid and memorable experience.

it's good game
