Una stella caduta in una foresta vicina lancia Po in una quest per catturarne la luce in un mondo grigio. Questo platform 2D narrativo si svolge in stile shadow puppet, con i giocatori che guidano Po attraverso 25 livelli in 5 biomi. Raccogli note musicali e momenti speciali per contrastare le manifestazioni di Ansia e Depressione che offuscano la vista e bloccano il progresso.
Cutscene tratte da spettacoli di puppet live collegano il viaggio lineare tra speranza, cuore spezzato, eccitazione e ansia, creato con esperti di salute mentale e un comitato consultivo giovanile. Un originale sistema musicale a strati per la salute monitora il benessere. I fan delle avventure free-to-play in cerca di platforming emotivo si ritroveranno nell'ascesa di Po contro la depressione.
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!
