✦ AI summary

Shape is a short experimental maze game where players navigate while conversing with their evolving shadow, which changes based on their dialogue choices to encourage self-reflection. Players praise its poetic atmosphere, beautiful music, and thought-provoking concepts, though some note it feels rough around the edges and relatively easy compared to similar games, with occasional technical issues like glitched achievements. The game appears to resonate most with players seeking artistic, contemplative experiences rather than challenging gameplay.

An odd, strange game. Makes you think of the anti-chamber, but than a tad bit more easy. Sadly, my achievements got glitched, but that is a minor detail. (was also not able to post this as a Curator review, so I posted it this way!) 6.5/10
