It is a short game but it is enjoyable. When I first began my first minutes in this game, I got completely lost in it. I was not able to quit playing because it was able to catch my attention immediately. But well, here are my impressions.
   
   The story could have the meaning that you want, the game gives you some clues about it but the best part is that you could give it any sense that you want. The design of the scenarios and the game itself is magnificent and the optimization of the game is amazing too. The audio experience was brilliant, I was playing the game with my Hi-Fi AMP and the experience the game gives was pretty good and enjoyable. The music was really touching and the effects were really good. I believe that there are many things that are pretty good about this game and I recommend everyone to give it a try but be careful, there are many things to look at, if you rush here then you will miss many things.
   
   My favorite things from the game were the soundtrack, the ambient of the game, and the story too.… Expand

   Facing your fears
   Shady Part of Me is a 4 hour long puzzle platformer where you play asa girl whos afraid of the light, but you also play as her shadow.
   Shady Part of me starts as one of the most unique gaming experiences ive played in a while.. youll be going back and forth between the two characters, pulling levers and items to help the other progress, and for its first half its absolutely magical, reminding me a lot of limbo… howver Shady Part of Me suffers from the same thing I believe limbo does… and that’s just its second half being boggges down with too much puzzle… this is Shady Part of Me’s biggest issue.. it starts out amazing, you forget this is a puzzle game just due to the fact that interacting with its world is so fun, you cant wait to see what the next section has to offer… and then you get smacked with the same old boring cogs and factory nonsense, really killing the magic for me in this game… it gets more and more tiresome the more the game goes on as it loses focus, it stops trying to tell you a story and deliver magic and just starts hitting you over the head with puzzle puzzle puzzle, the game starts to feel like forumelic sections of puzzles rather than a a well crafted and clever experience much like unravel that shady part of me starts as…
   That being said Shady Part of Me is a great puzzle game and its first half is all magic, its just a shame it turns to the same old puzzle platforming stuff towards the end that weve all seen a million times..
   I give Shady Part of Me
   a 7.5/10… Expand

   Interesting mechanics with game of lights and shadows, and changing perspective while playing as a shadow (most enjoyable gameplay somehowInteresting mechanics with game of lights and shadows, and changing perspective while playing as a shadow (most enjoyable gameplay somehow isn't in 3D!)
   
   Magical soundtrack, I was sometimes singing along with the tune. Good for chill.
   
   Cute graphics, change of locations must be noted.
   
   Very easy puzzles, boring for me, bot not for the dummies I guess.
   
   Bad storytelling, overextended because you need to play for both shadow and light girls and they speak with each other by one sentence at one puzzle section, which not only makes you run twice to the end, but also makes you bored waiting for the story to progress. The story itself kinda abstract - it consists of hints and its enough to understand the story in common, but not enough to fully uncover the situation and problems the main heroine in to, and the solution to it. Everyone would say: "Its' about facing your fears, people's judgement, yada yada...", but what it offers as the solution is just the same what every motivational speeches offer. But I had in mind that I want to argue with the narrator and tell him that fears are not that easy to fight when they are not the problem of your perception but reality.
   
   Someone can find the psychological solutions that game offers smart and lifechanging so try it out for yourself.… Expand

   If the taste you are looking for is a work of art such as journey, gris, limbo, inside, edith finch with its visuality, storytelling style andIf the taste you are looking for is a work of art such as journey, gris, limbo, inside, edith finch with its visuality, storytelling style and game mechanics, this game is definitely not such a game. visually perfect yes, it was this that fooled me too, stole my money and time. But the game is all about push a box, pull a box, turn off the light. no entry, no improvement, no results. Why did you make a game that is no different from solving sudoku with such a beautiful visual art, why did you end up cursing the game by increasing expectations It is a pity that while it could be a perfect project, one regrets that a newspaper cannot go beyond the additional puzzle.… Expand

   The last time something like this have happened to me was in the 90s. This is a crap game, don't waste your money, spend it elsewhere.… Expand
