Une étoile déchue dans une forêt voisine lance Po dans une quête pour capturer sa lumière au cœur d'un monde gris. Ce platformer 2D narratif se déploie dans un style marionnettes d'ombres, où les joueurs guident Po à travers 25 niveaux répartis sur 5 biomes. Récupérez des notes de musique et des instants précieux pour contrer les manifestations d'Anxiety et de Depression qui obscurcissent la vue et freinent l'avancée.
Des cinématiques issues de spectacles de marionnettes live relient ce parcours linéaire mêlant espoir, chagrin, excitation et angoisse, conçu avec des experts en santé mentale et un comité consultatif de jeunes. Un système musical de santé en couches suit le bien-être. Les fans d'aventures free-to-play en quête de platformer émotionnel se prendront au jeu du chemin de Po pour sortir de la dépression.
When a star falls in a nearby forest, it spurs Po onto a quest to find that light and bring it into their life.
Welcome to Light & Shadow, a narrative-driven 2D platformer in shadow puppet form, where you face your anxieties, climb out of depression, and find the moments of joy in a grey world. You'll puppeteer Po through 26 levels spread over 5 Biomes, where you will collect music notes and seek out key special moments in each level, which will help you push back the manifestations of Anxiety and Depression which will obscure your view and slow you down on your quest to find the star.
Inspired by “Po's Climb,” a shadow puppet performance by Sequoia Erickson, and in collaboration with Shadowland Theatre, Light & Shadow features an art style heavily relying on the trappings of a shadow puppet show. The cutscenes are recordings of live puppet shows, which tie the world together.
In support of the main concepts of dealing with anxiety and depression, Light & Shadow was built in collaboration with mental health professionals and a youth advisory committee, to evaluate the themes and moments in the game in order to ensure they were portrayed accurately and effectively.
Leaning heavily into a linear narrative, and inspired by the creative team's film and theater backgrounds, Light & Shadow takes you (and Po) on a journey of hope and heartbreak, excitement and anxiety.
Finding your way isn't always easy, keep going!
