빛과 그림자괴물을 이용해 별들을 모아 탈출하는 퍼즐게임으로 나오는 요소들은 한정적이지만 짜임새있게 잘 만들어졌습니다. 이따금 문제가 있다면 한번씩 빛이 없음에도 원래대로 돌아오지 않는 그림자 괴물과(버그인듯).. 돌이킬수없는 실수를 했을때 그것을 바로 알아차릴만한 요소가 없어 계속 한자리에서 삽질하게되는 경우가 있다는 것 그외에는 다 좋았습니다 [spoiler]개발자 자신의 친형제를 추모하며 만든 [/spoiler] 게임인걸 알고서 플레이하는게 더 게임의 장면이나 상황 이해에 더 도움이 될거라고 생각하지만 혹시 몰라 가림막처리해두었습니다 퍼즐이 불친절한 부분이 있지만 그래픽도 아름답고 꽤 괜찮은 게임인데 그다지 조명받지못한듯하여 아쉽네요
What an underrated puzzle platformer! I enjoyed a lot my time with it and hoped it would last just a little longer. The puzzles where very good, loved the mechanics and the secret rooms telling the story behind the game even better. While some people say it is similar to "FEZ" (and i do see some likeness) for me it was much more similar to "Full Bore". To anyone that loved "Full Bore" I highly recomend to play "In the Shadows". It's a piece of art!

Such a lovely indi game, fallen plague to getting burried in all the other Steam games. It's a puzzle/platoformer that consistest arounds solving levels that are a part of a few larger hub worlds. As for the story, it is a sweet, simple premise about light, darkness and what may be hiding In The Shadows...
グラフィックやBGMはかなり高品質。日本語訳も問題なし。 ただパズルのギミックが敵キャラの動きを制御しなくてはならないものが多くちょっと面倒。 後半難易度が上がるのに対し攻略情報がネット上に全然見つからないので雰囲気ゲームとして触ると痛い目を見るかも。
This game is super relaxing from the artwork to the music. You could go from beginning to end in this game fairly quickly but if you are looking to 100% the story of the game along with all of the achievements, it can be quite challenging. Some of the star collectibles can be a real brain twister to collect and there are a few hidden rooms that can be pretty tough to find. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun experience with a touching story tucked into it as well.
Quite easy game to relax. Great work mixing pixel art with voxels but in high frame rates like with my monitor at 144hz some artifacts can be seen, maybe is just me but even with that no a huge thing. The game is sort that is the only really bad thing about it but enjoyable.
Puzzle game de 5/6 heures, découpé en 4 mondes sur une trentaine de niveaux. Game play bien étudié, pas de redondance et de durée de via artificiellement rallongée. Il faut jouer sur les "monstres d'ombre" qui déambulent et se transforment à la lumière (en échelle, trampoline, bombe, ...) pour arriver au bout du niveau. Plein de petits secrets à dénicher dans chaque niveau pour retrouver toutes les étoiles à collectionner. Seul petit bémol, la traduction française niveau CP bourrée de fautes d'orthographe, mais on arrive quand même à comprendre. Donc un bon petit jeu du genre, très agréable à jouer :)
Nice game.
A cool pixel-puzzler with light/shadow mechanics at its core.
In The Shadows is a game that deserves much more attention. The beautifully crafted voxel 2D world compliments the lighting and colours, to create various tones to deliver each chapter of the game. With each chapter a new mechanic is introduced to the player. First by offering a simple puzzle to demonstrate how it works, before being gently lead into more challenging but fair scenarios, which make you think about how to use the world and the mechanics in front of you. The mechanics, while fairly simple, introduce new ways of solving and thinking about puzzles, all of which reinforce the key themes of the game; light/dark and the passage of time. At just over 2 hours long (In my experience) for the core game, it offers a concise but interesting experience. Would recommend.
