Shadowmatic is an imagination stirring puzzle where you rotate abstract objects in a spotlight to find recognizable silhouettes in projected shadows, relevant to the surrounding environment. The game combines stunning visuals with relaxing and captivating gameplay. It features 9 rooms, each flavored with unique concept, atmosphere, and music.

You might remember Zen Bound from a few years back, a leisurely puzzle game about wrapping figures in rope. It was a calming experience, not too taxing and enjoyable in its design and artistic style. If you're looking for something similar, the recently released Shadowmatic might scratch that itch.

Like Zen Bound, it's a puzzle game to be enjoyed at your leisure, where the entertainment comes from the manipulating objects and slowly teasing out a solution at your own pace. But rather than wooden objects and rope, Shadowmatic is more abstract. Each level presents you with odd shapes, their shadows projected onto the environment. By rotating and moving these shapes, you alter their shadows into familiar objects, perhaps a frog or a wrench or a chess piece. Between the soothing music, detailed environments and objects, and satisfyingly tactile gameplay, Shadowmatic is an enjoyable puzzle game. While the core objectives are simple on their own, you can also try to find tricky shapes when you replay levels if you're looking for more of a challenge
