Contrast is an intriguing and enjoyable title with a host of good gameplay ideas, fantastic visuals, beautiful music and an interesting and heartfelt story that succeeds in spite of its occasional technical problems and short length.
"Contrast is a single-player platformer game with an interesting plot, set in a dreamlike 1920s world, where you play as Dawn, the imaginary friend of Didi, who can shift between a 3D world and a 2D shadow world. Solve puzzles by manipulating light sources and enjoy the game's excellent soundtrack, dense atmosphere, and wholesome story. However, the game is very grinding, buggy, and has low replayability."
