About White Shadows

White Shadows

White Shadows is a cinematic puzzle-platformer where you play as a little Ravengirl trying to escape a brutal dystopia founded on oppression and violence that puts her at the bottom of its hierarchical social ladder.



Composed of a vast network of towers rising from the void of post-catastrophe darkness into the sky above, the city our young adventurer seeks to escape is a dangerous place to be. She will have to find ways to avoid the teeth of machinery primed to grind her into dust, leap across rickety infrastructure that bridges the cavernous darkness all around and avoid the watchful eyes of guards ready to gun her down. She will travel to the city’s brightest highs and delve to its darkest depths on her journey, discovering her destiny among the last free people alive.



White Shadows’ striking architectural forms and stunning monochrome art style combine to create a place steeped in atmosphere. It’s a world where the lies of the elite are plastered across its walls, where twisted forms of entertainment are used to keep everyone in their place, and where hope seems in short supply.



White Shadows
  • A visually stunning and narratively rich dystopian setting with a distinctive art style

Story

Show

White Shadows is a modern fable, a distorted mirror of our own world, funny, messed up and a little meaningful. A long time has passed since The Catastrophe. Humanity is half human, half animal. What remains of civilization lives in The White City, a vast network of towers rising high into a dark sky. It’s a harsh world, based on the worship of the White Light -- and a lie. White Shadows tells the story of little Ravengirl trying to escape this huge city, its deadly traps and weird trials. To set herself free, Ravengirl needs to find her way into the brightest highs and the darkest depths of the city, discovering her own destiny in the place where the last free people live. White Shadows is a cinematic puzzle platformer -- immerse yourself in a unique, handcrafted dystopia where equal parts entertainment and social criticism form the weirdest playing experience of the year!
