This is a great short story, a bit more symbolic and allegorical than your typical game. It's basically Sadako, but wholesome and with a fear of light. The shadow acts like a platformer, while the girl acts as if you're in a puzzle setting. The two got together really well. The rewind mechanic helps if you make a mistake. You can rewind as far as you want, too. The puzzles are mindbending, but each mechanic is introduced in a way that's easy to understand... (mostly)

The Artstyle is wonderful to watch, from environment to environment.

I am not going to spoil anything, because this story is best experienced blind.

I didn't like the ending much but the rest of the game was absolutely incredible and touching. I have dealt with depression most of my life, many of those thoughts were relatable. It also made me think of someone that I've lost to depression not much time ago, he'd struggle to ask for help and accept it. He's alive though, our relationship didn't make it, lol But I believe he'll heal and find himself just like the MC did. Thank you for this game, I needed it. It has a place in my heart now.

Light/shadow-based games seem kind of getting popular recently, and though I normally love this kind of stuff, nevertheless I just can’t help feeling very conflicted about this game. Don’t get me wrong (as stated in some of my other reviews, I don’t judge this way spontaneously), no, again it really hurts me inside to give this one a negative rating after I finally finished it (even with all achievements). And I definitely don’t want to seem like the nitpicky kind of guy. But in the end I have to stay true to my experience over all the long hours, and the following thoughts are indeed what actually went through my mind when playing this game. I know, it’s kind of complicated to describe it in short, so I guess I have to explain this a bit further, just please stay with me for this.

Anyway, I admit the game really starts out tremendously great, the way the shadows are introduced (especially when the 2D effects merge into 3D), the awesome breathtakingly melancholic music all over (fantastic soundtrack), the sensitive dialogs in the beginning. I’m talking about a kind of quality that let me and my wife think, oh my god, this could actually be a candidate for our next favorite indie-game of the year. Seriously, that’s how good it felt for the first hour, no kidding. But the longer I played, I don‘t know, it’s kind of hard to explain, it somehow felt like I COMPLETELY lost the emotional connection to the game. Maybe it was the lost-in-translation English voice-over (if you know The Missing, it’s the same voice-actor, but here she speaks as a child, always weird when an adult speaks one, Clemmy from Walking Dead as a huge exception). Or maybe it was the general under-tone of the game, especially the undecided, sledgehammer-wise psychology (the main topic of the game is a kind of interior struggle after all). Particularly at later chapters the ‘light’ child sounds more like a spoiled brat, while the ‘shadow’ child seems like a self-righteous know-it-all, and honestly, this wasn’t really helping me to connect. This way the message overall relates to, hey girl, if you’re depressed or suffering under self-isolation-issues, just get your act together. And seriously, this is just too simple in my opinion, might even be through-out insulting for people who themselves are suffering under similar afflictions. Apart from that, gameplay-wise there was also definitely too little variation for my taste, it’s always only about lifting boxes here, or pulling levers there, with a lot of trial and error.

So my final verdict, for people who expect a decent-to-mediocre narrative puzzle platformer with little variation, and who don’t listen to the story, go ahead, you might enjoy this one. All in all it’s still kind of fair, checkpoints are plenty, and there’s even a clever rewind mechanism. But if you’re a bit more sensitive like me, especially the psychology (which even doesn’t get resolved in the end, like, what the heck happened here anyway), and the arbitrary stereotypic environments (though drawn well) really turned me off in the end. Sorry. Just seems like the devs wanted too much, and at some point didn’t know what to write anymore, so they repeated themselves over and over again (with gameplay AND writing), up to the point at which the main characters just get unsympathetic, and you just want the game to be over. It’s kind of sad, really, because the core of this one actually could have been really good.

Love the art style, story telling was enjoyable. This pulled me in and got me hooked.

The puzzles are entertaining and expected, not too challenging, but not everything was a cakewalk. I enjoyed the two level of difficulty on some puzzles (one easier solution to progress the story and one more complex solution to get the collectables). It does seem like the story was the main focus, and the puzzles are a pleasant and welcomed gameplay mechanic that enhance the story,

Shady Part of Me is a cur artistic puzzle game about a little girl who stuggles through life. Being afraid of light, or afraid of beeing seen, is one of her issues. As such, she cannot walk through brightly lid areas in the game. Her shadow can only live in the light and there you have a nice twist on the both 2d (shadow) and 3d ('real' world) puzzle elements in this game.

Both the girl and her shadow needs to traverse through a quite large amount of small maps and are both controlled independently of eachother. The girl has to walk in shadows, not being able to enter brightly lid areas, while her shadow must walk and jump on shadows cast by the environment. They have to work together to move boxes and turn levers to make the way clear for each other and reach the end of each map. On top of that, there's some dangerous things going on in the shadow world.

Puzzles are mostly quite easy, with a few exceptions. The hardest part is getting the optional origamis for several achievements.

While the graphics are relatively simple, the whole style of the game is just great. Things flow nicely from one area to another and the maps and layout really fits the narrative. The presentation of the story is a mix of both voice acted and written narrative and they complement each other perfectly. Very well done.

One negative point to mention is that the english voice of the girl is weird. It doesn't sound natural at all. It's only a minor complaint though. Other voices are fine and it hardly distracted me from the game itself.

While having different mechanics, it's easy to compare this game to Iris Fall. And rightfully so. If you like one, you'll probably like the other as well.

Here's what you do:

You switch between a girl moving in a 3D space and her independently moving shadow. The girl does a lot of block pushing while the shadow does a lot of platforming in a 2D space, but both will need to work together to pull switches, solve puzzles, and move forward. There is spoken and written dialog throughout the game. The girl, her shadow, and a third voice will speak to each other and some of their thoughts will be written out on the stage objects and backgrounds.

What I like:

I like the platforming sections of the shadow. I thought the game would be mostly focused on puzzles, but there are some paper birds found throughout the game that take some advanced level platforming to reach sometimes. Other birds are a more advanced puzzle solution than the one needed to progress. The birds only reveal puzzle pieces to images on the level select screens. Each of these screens also helpfully tell you how many of the birds you have collected. This is very helpful to anyone who wants to 100% the game. The game's art style does look very nice.

What I don't like:

The girl's high pitched voice seemed very out of place at first. I don't think it goes well with the messy-haired girl that looks like she might be out of a horror film. The shadow has a deeper voice, and I think they are supposed to be two personalities of the same person? That would make sense, but the game does not give conclusive answers about who any of the three voices are supposed to be. Most of the game is the three voices arguing with each other over vague concepts when they finally just get over it in the final chapter. Also, that scene in the trailer where the girl pushes over a piece of prop scenery and she dives into the light, that is part of the very end of the game. The ability of the shadow to possess other objects is only done in the last chapter. The game sticks to moving blocks and platforming the entire rest of the game. The puzzles do get difficult, but by the end I was getting tired and wished they could change up the activities more often.

Conclusion:

The game's characters seem interesting at first, but you never get to know any details of the drama the girl is going through. She may just be fighting extreme shyness. I lost interest in the characters halfway through and was enjoying the gameplay, but that eventually got tiring by the end. The game is about six hours long and has great visual design, but it is not something I will be returning to any time soon.

A tale of a little girl who fights every day to see better future for her and everyone around her. Beautiful flow from darkness, despair, emptiness and closure into one self too become one entity with your body.
Help yourself and guide your shadow through many obstacles and misunderstood minds. Beautiful artstyle and phenomenal level design. Be strong to not let go of yourself cause we all have to be strong not only for you but for others aswell. At the end its always the darkest before the dawn. You are not alone.
This game is a definition of art. Superb 10/10

J'ai eu l'occasion de voir ce jeu à la Japan Expo Paris 2019 et je l'ai ajouté à ma liste de souhaits instantanément.
Je dois dire que je ne suis pas déçu ! Le style graphique est vraiment super sympa, l'ambiance sonore est très apaisante et le concept, du pur génie !
C'est un jeu avec un gameplay vraiment intuitif (à la LIMBO), la progression de la difficulté est bien gérée avec une histoire que chacun est libre d'interpréter à sa façon.
Mon seul bémol concernerait la durée du jeu que j'ai complété dans son intégralité en 5h. Est-ce que je regrette ? Certainement pas !
Est-ce que vous devriez l'acheter ? Si vous êtes amateur d'énigmes, carrément !

I haven't played very many games, the ones I have have been fantastic; but Shady Part of Me was a whole new level. The art was gorgeous, the gameplay was incredibly fluid and inventive (although I have yet to figure out how to get all of the birds), the story was mysterious and ultimately up for interpretation (within reason). I have nothing negative to say about this game, it was a beautiful experience that left me staring at the screen in wonder when it was over. I think this might be my new favorite game!

There have been times that I've really tried to imagine a mental landscape for therapy and healing yourself, what it would be like... I feel like this game really captured that. It feels like taking a walk inside someone's mind while they work on themselves.

I really like the concept of working together *with* yourself as well, guiding each other. The adult version of you that wants to be pragmatic and the child version of you that's still reckless and scared. Loved the dialogue between these two. Reminds me of conversations and arguments I've had with myself.

And... the soundtrack is really gorgeous.

And... puzzles. I couldn't leave it alone until I got all of the origami. :)

This is a really well made game, a decent amount of content, not too hard, but challenging enough puzzles to keep you busy. I really like the rewind feature, it allows you to really deliberate the puzzles and not try and speed through them with irritation, as you never have to restart from the beginning.
The story is well incorporated, it is dark and vague and leads the characters well, without the feeling of it being forced. That being said, I still couldn't tell you what the plot is meant to be, but maybe that is the point, it could represent a wide variety of emotional issues, making it feel relateable.
The combination of 2D and 3D is really interesting and well made, especially the 2D physics later in the game. I'd love to see a second game, possibly 2 player.

I'm on the fence.
Not 12/10, clearly, more like 5/10.
Very tempted to put the thumb down, so call me generous on that one.

Yes, the visuals are great. A gorgeous 3D world in sepia and blue, as you can see in the promotion material.
What's not so obvious, unfortunately, is that a vandal then committed to write graffiti garbage all over it. The art is pointlessly damaged.
Can't say if the culprit had to deface the music after that heinous act. It's very possible; the score goes from bland to slightly unpleasant, however not enough for me to turn it off.

I don'r recommend the English voices. It's mostly fine, and I haven't checked other languages, however the chapter with the dispute is hardly bearable, what with the little girl constantly shouting and whining. Obnoxious. I had to take several breaks there.

The voices and the graffiti are apparently meant to help telling a story. They fail. They detract.
The story itself is nothing to gloat about. The little-girl-in-asylum cliche has long been beaten to death, especially in video games, and the artsy-fartsy route is the laziest to write. Still, it would have worked better in silence, as in show-don't-tell.

As for the gameplay, the most important aspect of a game, well, the puzzles are mostly fine.
Despite timers, which are balanced by a time-rewind mechanism.
Issue #1: the better puzzles are the optional ones, i.e., catching birds as you advance, but you have to see them first. Puzzles are replaced by some hidden-object crap. I missed 15 with my eyes constantly peeled, and the thing is not good enough for me to go back and hunt for them.
Issue #2 is the presence of long walking-simulator sections, with nothing to do but walk the distance, twice. Lazy. Cheap. Boring.

In conclusion, it is still worth a watch despite the graffiti and the poor story. However, be prepared for some dull, if not annoying moments. It's a rather short game, yet I had to take 7 or 8 breaks before coming back to it. That's not what good games do.

Shady Part Of Me is a really beautiful, artsy puzzle game, with wonderful musics, and a moving storyline (especially if you've ever come across self doubt and/or depression). The gameplay is quite basic, made successive puzzles based on light and shadows interactions. They are quite interesting with increasing difficulty, of course. This game definately deserves to be played, so go ahead : it will be worth your while !

I have completed my initial playthrough of Shady Part of Me, and while there were many brick shaped holes throughout, the ending hit like a ton of bricks, and whilst it hurts, in the good way, I now have a supply of bricks and can lay them around me in my second playthrough.

Conveniently phrased paragraph aside, the game is downright gorgeous, in all regards, from visuals, to audio, the narrative, how that gameplay ties beautifully into the narrative, so on so forth. No gameplay felt forced, and no concept was any I found under developed, aside from a single system involving the Q key that I felt would be nice to have a bit more puzzles involved with it.

Upon completion of the game, many things clicked into place, and other things were opened up to understand with another look at previous sections. The story is by no means unfleshed out or with holes that can't be filled in, it is merely a story that requires the player's caring to understand, which is to say, a very good story indeed. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a lovely 5 hours or so of a beautiful art piece in every way.

Within the first 10 minutes of play, I fell in love with this game. I had no expectations and was hesitant to take on a 'platformer.' It has elements that reminded me of Limbo (avoiding dark stuff but without the monsters) and Little Nightmares (directing a faceless child through a surreal landscape but without the monsters). I am most reminded of Iris.Fall which also focuses on a child's journey and uses shadow play as part of the game mechanics.

For me, Shady Part of Me is better than all three of those, put together. It is a journey of self discovery and overcoming fear to become your true self. The narrative is told through 'self talk' between the child and her shadow (her light and dark sides) and an outer voice that offsets the self doubt and provides encouragement. To be honest, I missed a lot of the narrative because I was so enchanted with the landscapes, the creative puzzles, the music, and the style. As far as platforming goes, I did not struggle. The game is fairly forgiving and has a rewind that lets you re-do a mistake (rather than having you die and start a sequence all over).

Shady Part of Me is broken into many short segments with the puzzles being to get the child and the shadow from entry to exit point. Your game is automatically saved at each exit point. The shadow is navigated through a 2D environment bound by 'edges' of light/dark and the child is navigated through a 3D environment bound by avoiding the light. This makes for some very interesting problem solving as cooperation is required to get both through most of the scenarios. There are 98 birds to find (some light, some dark) as optional collectibles and you have the option of revisiting completed sections to pick up any you may have missed.

What I loved most about this game was the diversity of the artwork and how the puzzles changed and had elements added as you proceed through the four major Acts. There are toy trains and airplanes, paper boats, cogs, elevators, and a host of different scenes (a carnival, a hospital, a clock, a theater, etc.). My sense of wonder continued throughout the game. And, by the way, the music is haunting and beautiful to listen to. The voice overs are well done and I may have to replay just to listen to the dialog more closely.

The ending was satisfying and heart warming. If childhood was a time of inner struggle for you, the game will have additional meaning and impact.

I've played about 5 hours of this game and I can whole hearted recommend it.

I got drawn in by the art style, I stayed for the music and my brain got twisted by the varying puzzles. They start out pretty easy and slowly in some places means you have to wrap your brain around a pole and try and unwrap it again. It doesn't hurt that the story that the whole game is based around is slowly unwrapping either.

Shady Part of Me (Narrative Platformer)

NOTE: This game is a narrative experience, and the gameplay reflects that. There is NO precision platforming nor impossible-to-figure-out puzzles along the way.

Options include volume controls for Master, Music, SFX and Voices; Brightness, Resolution (for me the default was 1536 x 864), Controller or Keyboard (re-mappable), and choice of Language.

Story and Gameplay:

The store page expresses the gist of the game and story well, but in my own words, this is about a girl struggling to face life and pain, darkness and light, yin and yang.

We journey as two parts of the whole... Part of us depends on the light, traveling through the shadows upon flat surfaces, whilst the other part is afraid of the light, and moves about in 2.5D world... It's not quite 3D, but it still *feels* 3-dimensional.

Each character is controlled separately, and you can switch back and forth at will. You will have to cooperate with your shadow in order to progress, the goal being to get you both to the marked checkpoint. These are pretty close together, and you may be blocked off from the last segment once you both hit the save point.

Why is this important? Because there are collectible origami birds, and finding them can add just the slightest bit more to the tale.

You can see how many you've collected in the top right corner of the screen, but more helpful is the 'Revisit' section of the Menu, which will show you how many you've collected (and missed) per chapter. You can, I assume, replay a chapter at any time and not lose your progress.

There are no HINTS available, but in general, you won't need them. The puzzles tend to be on the easy-to-figure-out side, as the driving force behind this game is learning the story. Gathering the birds can be a little trickier, but it's obvious that the devs WANT you to complete the game, and rage-quitting doesn't exactly make one want to keep playing non-stop. XD

Although not super-challenging, the mechanics do evolve and become more complex as you progress, making things even more interesting, and blending beautifully with where we are in the story.

A lot of things come to mind as I think about the game. Whimsy. Fear. Sorrow. Beauty. Strength. The devs managed to convey these feelings in a manner that is both fluid and poignant, enhancing their tale in a variety of ways. There are elements of the known: A sprinkle of the shadow-play from Contrast, visible word play and environmental unlocks like in Epistory - Typing Chronicles, 2.5D gameplay reminiscent of Max: The Curse of Brotherhood... and yet as a whole Shady Part of Me is nothing like other games I've played.

Verdict:

Shady Part of Me is a little slow to start off, but quickly becomes hard to pull yourself away from. I found myself completely engaged, and absolutely recommend the game to anyone who enjoys a good narrative. Quick reflexes are not required!

Good puzzle platformer, very polished. Difficulty in puzzles as well as platforming is rather light, occasionally spiking a bit to moderate. If you liked Contrast, you will probably like this game as well.

9.9/10. I would definitely recommend this game to others. Such wonderful art style, lovely music and enjoyable puzzles.

The only thing I didn't like is that it's different music when switching between 2D and 3D.

This is one of those games that will make you question yourself what's the point of growing up? just to lose yourself in the reality, forget that you used to remember your dreams, your favorite toys, your purest emotions. Instead of job, money, responsibility. It will make you feels like you living through your childhood once again. You might think I'm just exaggerating, and maybe you're right, but at least, that's my true experience with the game. Give it a try and see for yourself, i'd say it's worth it.(Bad Engrish, I know)

I'll update if my opinions end up changing, but so far it's okay. It's basically Contrast meets Limbo (minus the monsters of Limbo, at least so far), with a Prince of Persia-esque rewind mechanic that is very helpful if you make a mistake in your platforming. The mood is slightly melancholy, and the character movement is fairly slow, but not to the point where it truly hurts the experience. The visuals are understated yet certainly beautiful, and the entire atmosphere could best be described as ethereal and haunting.

It's not the most innovative game I've ever played but so far it's enjoyable.

I'm only about 2 hour in but I've been enjoying it. The style and atmosphere have been both beautiful to experience for me. The dream-like world are also really interesting. The soundtrack is also great and hope for an OST release later on. All in all, I hope this doesn't go under the radar.

I'm updating after finishing the game, but this was an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. I really am fond of gameplay that involves around shadows. The puzzle aspect of using shadow from the the foreground items to create the platforms was great idea. Puzzles where pretty easy however but that's fine. My favorite section being toward the end where the vision of the shadow is limited but using the foreground's shadow to make it across. It was just fun explore the world.
For the narrative, it was quite good on overcoming fears and accepting oneself. I love the little text that pop up as you progress giving more of the context. But I will need to replay again so I can get a better picture of the story.
The soundtrack is a yes for me so again, I hope for an OST release.
I definitely recommend giving this game a go.
