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?

Ratings and reviews

it's very interesting, aesthetically, and symbolically.. a neat story; can be challenging, yet not so overly frustrating that you want to quit...haven't run onto a game like this for years... worth 5$ and I'm just starting! it's also a "crowd pleaser", , friends are fascinated, I'm definitely not going to un-install this one!

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.

I don't typically play games on my phone, but I am really enjoying Shadows. The puzzles are a lot of fun - I sometimes get confused as to whether I completed the puzzle as intended... but then decide it doesn't matter since I beat the level. The story is interesting if not meaningfully confusing - still excited to see what happens.
