Puzzle Game In My Shadow Gets PlayStation Release Date

Games with shadow mechanics aren’t exactly new. Contrast, Tandem: A Tale of Shadows, and many others have used the idea. However, I’m always a little curious and impressed by different takes on this same idea. Now, OverGamez and Playbae Games have revealed a PlayStation release for their game that takes this idea and runs with it. In My Shadow will release on February 11^th, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Here is what the press release has to say about the new release: “In My Shadow takes you on an emotional journey through the mind of Bella in pursuit of reconciliation with her past. The game features 4 rooms with a total of more than 50 puzzles to solve. Each room offers a different glimpse into her memories, exploring the changing relationships in her family. The shadows within each level must be manipulated via objects to progress and there is often more than one solution to a challenge.

In My Shadow is more than a cleverly designed puzzle-platformer; it is a heart-warming story into the mind of a young woman looking for answers to questions in her past. Her childhood memories come to life as shadows on the wall of her house, and you must use those shadows to solve unique puzzles and help Bella try to let go of her past.

The gameplay revolves around a unique core mechanic – the shadows. You can use the shadows however you like. There can be more than one solution to a puzzle. The game constantly challenges you with multi-dimensional mechanics that force you to invent new ways to use shadows.”

I love games that take a single puzzle concept and use it in a variety of ways. It seems like In My Shadow will scratch that itch well. It already won several Indie game awards too, so I’m sure PlayStation users have a fair bit to look forward to.
