A Tale of Shadows is a third-person action-adventure game focusing on the main character and his shadow. The main character’s shadow will be a core component of the game. You will delve into the shadows to get around quickly and take down enemies utilizing your shadow by manifesting it into weapons such as swords, spears, and hammers. Movement is also one of the main focuses, making it feel rewarding to travel through the shadows to gain height and move to areas faster than just walking. The combat will be a mix of using the shadows to take down enemies and hacking and slashing with combos.
