Tandem A Tale of Shadows is a puzzle-platformer set in Victorian London, where young Emma and the teddy bear Fenton search for a missing boy. Light and shadow form the core mechanic of every puzzle.

Emma uses her lamp to cast shadows that Fenton can walk along, and players switch between the top-down view of Emma and the side-scrolling shadow world of Fenton, coordinating both to progress through the eerie Kane family manor.
