Description

Chasing Shadows is a top-down puzzle adventure set in a world shaped by light and shadow. The game encourages exploration through environmental puzzles, challenging players to avoid illuminated areas while manipulating shadows to open new paths. In order to solve puzzles, the player is required to understand the logic of various objects found in the world. Just like the player's health and ability to move, their behaviour is tied to light and shadow. The player is rewarded for discovering hidden areas that reveal bits and pieces of the world's history and lore.

History

Chasing Shadows started as Ryan's bachelor project in 2022. After a long break during which he attended his master's at the Zurich Univesity of the Arts, he picked the project up again and applied for funding from Pro Helvetia. He received a grant and shortly thereafter, Dominic joined the team.
