Looking to cause mischief as a little shadow, disconnected from your human owner and on a globe-trotting quest to be reunited? Of course you are! Find all of this and more within SCHiM.
This is a delightful little indie puzzler that is finally making its way over to PC and consoles as a full launch.
We’ve All Got One…
Now available on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC, the demo of SCHiM on Steam has captivated audiences. And the full game has wowed us too – in fact, check out our full review of SCHiM on Xbox right now.
A short, few-hour-long experience with a striking art style and fun puzzles to figure out, you’ll play as a schim – a soul of a living being or inanimate object, that lives within shadows. Disconnected from your owner after a series of unfortunate events, you’ll need to hop between shadows across each level in order to make it to the end goal.
By interacting with objects like traffic lights and bounce pads, you can both manipulate the environment, and navigate it quickly. Of course, stay out of the shadow for too long, and you’ll be sent back to your last resting place.
Collect hidden objects, explore humble towns inspired by the best of Europe, and make it back to your owner!
Key Features
- A story of a person losing their shadow – A schim is the soul and spirit of an object or living being. Everything in the world has one, and it should never be separated! You need to find your way back to the human you belong to, before it’s too late!
