In post-war 1920s London, Jean leaves her criminal organization to recover paintings stolen from her deceased brother and pursue personal vengeance.
Sneak through guarded areas by changing the lighting and shifting between light and shadow forms. Use darkness to move unseen, and shadow powers to deal with guards.
Use Jean’s shadow form to slip through narrow gaps and barriers, navigate obstacles, and solve environmental puzzles as you progress through the levels and search for the paintings.
Players often enjoy the distinctive shadow-based stealth and puzzle mechanics, along with the atmospheric noir setting, art, and music. Some also appreciate the story and the compact experience, though many reviews wish the game were longer. Criticisms include the lack of a save system and, in a smaller number of reviews, concerns about enemy behavior, animation polish, or voice acting.
