Story & names
White Shadows is a modern fable, a distorted mirror of our own world, funny, messed up and a little meaningful.
A long time has passed since The Catastrophe. Humanity is half human, half animal. What remains of civilization lives in The White City, a vast network of towers rising high into a dark sky. It’s a harsh world, based on the worship of the White Light -- and a lie.
White Shadows tells the story of little Ravengirl trying to escape this huge city, its deadly traps and weird trials. To set herself free, Ravengirl needs to find her way into the brightest highs and the darkest depths of the city, discovering her own destiny in the place where the last free people live.
White Shadows is a cinematic puzzle platformer -- immerse yourself in a unique, handcrafted dystopia where equal parts entertainment and social criticism form the weirdest playing experience of the year!
