Shady Part of Me is a clever puzzle platformer that does justice to it's shadow world concept. There's a good balance here where the puzzles were often tricky but I rarely ever felt frustrated.

I did end up feeling that both the narrative and the puzzles get progressively less interesting as the game goes on. Which is a shame. The same story beats start to repeat early on (we get it, the girl is pessimistic and the shadow is optimistic). I did play with French VA which I found to be a huge improvement over the English VA that the game defaults to. Worth mentioning to anyone curious to try it out.

So yeah, I started this game kind of over the moon about how novel the concept was, but I just wasn't able to maintain that level of enthusiasm. Despite that gripe, the game is still very good and worth a play!
