Tandem: A Tale of Shadows

8/10

Lacking a significant amount of polish, Tandem provides fantastic puzzles featuring a unique light and shadow perspective gimmick that makes it worth powering through the messy presentation. Full Review: https://neoncloudff.wordpress.com/2023/01/31/now-playing-january-2023-edition/

Awesome game. The puzzles are fun and the music is amazing. The interaction between normal and platform mode is really well done. The storytelling is good but the voice actor of the girl doesn't really fit in this plot. The story itself is kept really short but very clear.

If you've not been introduced to puzzle platforming games before, this is a proper entry point for stuff like Braid, Limbo, Another World and games where the premise isn't to defeat baddies. Simple enough, solve the puzzles stopping the teddy bear from gaining you some sort of magical fragment of a key to unlock the next area. Each new area starts off with a new mechanic to get used to and each level is packed with tons of variety. It's a fair game that doesn't focus on punishing you. Messing up doesn't send you back to the beginning but it will put you at the point most advantageous after failure. Well worth playing to chill with.

good

Don't trust your shadow :)
