About this game

Where Shadows Slumber is a mobile adventure puzzle game that takes place in a world that has been plunged into darkness. You will guide Obe, an old man who discovers a mysterious lantern in the forest, on one last journey.

The only tools at your disposal are your wits and the chaotic nature of the universe. Anything that is not touched by light has the freedom to change. This governing principle will be your guide in the darkness, but also your undoing. After all, if you are not touched by the light, you have the freedom to change as well.

What will you become?

Neat game, but has some pretty major memory leaks. If you notice some animations start getting delayed, I recommend closing & reopening the game. Otherwise you might get to a point where it completely freezes up your phone. (mine has 12gb of ram, still locked up...). To the dev, I hope you can fix these memory leaks🙂. I first noticed it when I got to River 5 - Ferry within my first session. Can't fit more details here so I'll shoot you an email.

Most excellent mobile games work very hard to create a totally immersive world (Alto's Odyssey or The Room series). A smaller number of excellent mobile games eschew the story to create an engrossing style that is almost hypnotic (Monument Valley or Stacks). In a rare third case, an excellent mobile game uses emotion to pull you in (This War of Mine). Where Shadows Slumber neatly fits into the rarefied air of that third breed. It starts off with a misleadingly simple plot which quickly and shockingly accelerates into something that you never expected. You find yourself solving puzzles not just for the satisfaction of accomplishment, but to lurch ahead and expose more of this disquieting story. With the exception of 6 levels, I found the game exceedingly easy -- not a negative! The erratic pacing was intentionally set by the designers to match the emotional ride they took me on. The panicky nature of escaping naturally translates to hastily solved puzzles. After I finished the game in two sittings, I did not want more, I wanted to contemplate what I just experienced -- like a good book. This game is a masterful work of emotion, full of shock, sadness, unease, and victory.

Where Shadows Slumber is packed full of interesting puzzles with a compelling narrative that's sure to appeal to puzzle game fans of all types. I wouldn't recommend it for young kids, but teens and older would enjoy it! I had a lot of fun playing this game! Disclosure: I received a copy of this game for free from the developer to review it for TechRaptor.
