Manipulate light and darkness in this co-op puzzle platformer. Shadow Puppeteer combines platforming with puzzle-solving in a play of light and shadow. Having a truly Nordic yet original art style, the game tells the story of a boy and his shadow. Shadow Puppeteer is a co-op experience that focuses on teamwork and seeing the world through different perspectives. The combination of the characters' skills unite and complete them. The boy is one of the many people that have been separated from their shadows by the mischievous Shadow Puppeteer. Luckily, his shadow managed to elude capture and together they chase the villain to free the stolen shadows. Manipulate the objects and their shadow in a cohesive play between you and your friend, in order to solve puzzles and get past all the challenges that lay ahead on your great journey.
