Shady Part of Me

Presskit

SPOM, short for Shady Part of Me, is a narrative 3D game in an oneiric world drawing itself along your journey.

SPOM tells the story of a little girl.
She has been hiding in the shadows – quite literally – for as long as she can remember. Fearful and lonely.

Then she met her. Another girl – all dressed in black – who shadows her now. They feel happy together.

She used to be a speachless shadow. Tied up to that body, always hidden in the dark, no one would notice her. Now she is striving for freedom :
does she truly need a body ?

Two personalities for one little girl.
Two characters, with their respective goals and aspirations.
Be the one to bind them together anew.

What SPOM is about

• Switch from a 2D platformer to a 3D platformer at will ;
  You will play both a 3D character and a 2D character : her shadow.
  
  
• Play with light and cast shadows to overcome obstacles ;
Light and shadow casters are the main source of interaction between your characters. Use them wisely.


• Recover or escape, find your way out of the hospital ;
That will be the main common goal of your characters : getting out. But how ?


• Solve puzzles in order to discover the psyche of your characters ;
By playing the game, you will naturally understand the relationship between those two personalities : their fears, strengths and bonds.


• Live the drawn narrative account of your character.
Although the game is set up in a comic strip style, you won't be reading the story of the little girl. You will live it.

In this game, everything is lovingly handcrafted down to its very core, including the engine, in order to offer you the best immersion possible.

Who is behind SPOM

We’re a team of eight knowing each other for quite a long time.
After spending so much time talking about games, we realised our combined skills might allow us to actually make one. We like different types of games ; with Shady Part Of Me, we found a common ground.

Though none of us knew what “developing a game” actually meant, through lots of discussions, we took a real pleasure in expanding our imagination and we would like to share through Shady Part of Me the result of this association of spirits.
