- Very interesting concept. I have not seen the discovery of new combinations done this way. I spent way too much time on this submission because it got me hooked. Until a bomb bounced back on me lol

Tell us about your game!
Shadow Caster is a game in which players must use the shadow projected by a magical lantern to shape (quite literally) new spells for their arsenal, while trying to reach the hidden treasure inside a mysterious dungeon.
CONTROLS:
WASD + Mouse > Move and Aim
LM Click - Cast Selected Spell
Shift > Run
E > Pick up Item
G > Drop Item
Q > Interact with objects
1-7 or Mouse Wheel - Change Spells
COMBINE SHADOWS
Place pairs of objects in front of the lanters, rotate them until you have a silhouette you belive to hold magical power and interact with the shadow itself to see if it contains a spell.
SPELLS AND EFFECTS
Each spell is different and has different effects and interactions with the others. Try combining different spells and see what happens!
MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS
Players can reach the hidden treasure in many different ways. Be creative and experiment around!
