  • Unique game theme interpretation. Great implementation and game mechanics. I was able to understand how to use the controls and figure out the puzzling. Sound design and game feel was very film noir, loved it! GG!

Yup!

Tell us about your game!
Our game is about a theater that puts on shadow puppet shows where the created puppets are pitted against shadow monsters.

With items that you can buy at the prop table, you must fill out a shadow puppet template, and once you are happy with it, put on a show!
Your puppet's appearance and strength is determined by your accuracy when filling in the template, so try and be precise!
With an accurate enough puppet, your shadow puppet may even transform into a shadow monster itself!

This game is entirely played with the mouse:
Right-Click - Grab/Drag item
Left-Click - Flip Item
Scroll-Wheel - Rotate Item.

To buy items, drag and drop them from the prop table into the item bin or onto your canvas. (If you have enough money)

To sell items you own, drag and drop them on top of the prop table.

To browse and select a puppet template, click on the book in the bottom right. The more complex the template you attempt, the stronger your shadow monster will be!

To create a shadow puppet, arrange your items to cover the template on the canvas. Note that if you go outside the lines, or miss some area within the lines, your accuracy will take a hit, and the shadow monster created will be weaker!

Have fun!
