Me and My Shadow is a puzzle platformer/interactive fiction game about the relationship between a boy and his shadow, representing the darker parts of the human psyche. This is explored through a combination of puzzle platforming rooms, and voiced dialogue. The main mechanic of the game is the ability for the boy and his shadow to split into two characters to allow the ability to solve "co-op style" puzzles
Extra Notes
Please play the game in full screen for the intended experience.
This was our first time as a team making a non visual novel type game and we had a lot of fun doing it! We're excited to hear what people think of our game. We unfortunately didn't quite get as far into the project as we would have liked as we were only really able to spend around a week on the game instead of the full two.

I really really love the animation and the voice acting was a really great addition. I found some graphical glitches when the camera would move but this had a really limbo-esque charm to it that I really dug. The ending definitely got a sardonic laugh out of me, that crunch was REAL. I really like your game and concept and think that rebuilt without time constraints could be something really special.
thanks, limbo was definitely our main art inspiration so we’re really glad you got that from the game. We’re definitely planning on continuing some sort of version of this game in the future!
Nice hand drawn animation
Super charming game! The voice acting was a nice touch to the overall experience.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear it!
