'White Shadows' is a 2D platformer. Visually, it is a black and white work of art with a lot of depth. You want to play through it and learn all about this dark place. The game plays quite smoothly, but has a minimal sloppiness. It's unfortunately very short, but the platforming, puzzles and artstyle make it worth every second. In addition, this story tells more than the foreground suggests.

The platforming is mediocre, the performance is terrible, but there is heart here. I look forward to what Monokel has in store for us with their next title as there is clear talent on this team, and they are not afraid to tackle some very delicate topics.

White Shadows is a dark and oppressive experience, but don’t write it off. It’s reminiscent of Limbo and the like, but homages can be a good thing at times. It is criminally short, however, and would have really benefited from a bit more challenge and/or length in its puzzles. If you enjoy your misery in small bursts, this will be for you.

I feel like it’s especially hard to put into words how well-constructed this game was graphic-wise.

The unique art style, excellent lighting, and mechanical world design are all great.

White Shadows is a breath-taking, story-driven, puzzle-platformer in the vein of Limbo.
