4.5/5 ★ – Wiwa's review of Shady Part of Me.

TOTAL WEIGHTED SCORE: 93.3% How's the vibe? 9.3/10 How's it play? 7.7/10 How's it look? 8.4/10 How's it sound? 9/10 Attention to detail? 8/10 - Shady Part of Me really took me by surprise. The opening of the game leads you to believe it will be a very simplistic platformer, but this gives way to a stunning 3D-2D hybrid puzzle game with a unique mechanic. The interplay of lights and shadows is used to great effect when designing the puzzles. Only a couple of them proved tricky, and most of the game was relatively straightforward. This is appropriate, and allows the player to engage with the beautiful and varied environments, as well as the story that unfolds. The narrative was very sweet, focusing on the main character's journey through therapy - and gaining the confidence and strength to face the world without fear of judgement. It's a compassionate and truthful telling of the ups and downs of a fight with mental health, and I'll be watching Douze Dixièmes to see what they do next.
