In My Shadow Review – Melancholic Puzzle Platformer
In My Shadow is a narrative-driven puzzle platformer in which players take on the role of Bella. The levels and puzzles take place at different time periods of her life, culminating in a memorable story. Strong visual and audio design, paired with engaging gameplay shows an impressive effort put in by the developers.

It might look unassuming, but In My Shadow is a deeply enjoyable puzzle-platforming with great shadow mechanics. The difficulty curve is just right, the puzzles themselves are varied and fun to solve, and I just like positioning armchairs for maximum verticality.

Across three hours, In My Shadow has a few puzzles that might make you stand up in your chair. But the rest of the dull, fiddly shadow-moving experience will make you wish you turned out the lights and had a nap instead.
