SHADOWS BETWEEN
"Shadow Betweens" is a unique side-scrolling platform game where players control 2D shadows to navigate the 3D human world. The game features a simultaneous presence of 2D and 3D spaces, requiring players to switch perspectives and handle crises in both worlds simultaneously.
The core gameplay revolves around manipulating the size of shadows based on the distance between the shadow and the human character. Players utilize this mechanic to traverse visually deceptive 2D and 3D parallel traps.
As a shadow detective, you will journey through the shadowy city infested by gangsters, embarking on your own nocturnal adventure.
