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."

Contrast is a frequently beautiful mess
45%Far From A Classic
The story of Contrast is quite unique. In some nameless city set in an era that is likely the height of the jazz period in the late 20s and early 30s, a young girl, Didi is trying to save her family from domestic implosion.
