Lost in Shadow

Lost in Shadow, known as A Shadow's Tale in Australia and Europe and as Kage no Tō (影の塔; lit. "Tower of Shadows") in Japan, is a puzzle-platform video game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Wii. It was released in Japan in July 2010, in Australia and Europe in October 2010, and in North America in January 2011. It was also released for Wii U via Nintendo eShop in 2016 by Konami, 4 years after Hudson Soft was absorbed by the company. Lost in Shadow is played largely in the background of the game environment as the player controls a boy's shadow, which must climb the shadows of a tall tower, rife with puzzles and enemies. He is accompanied by a sylph that can alter the direction of the foreground light sources, altering the alignment of shadows upon which he climbs. There are times in the game when the boy is able to materialize into the three-dimensional world and briefly interact with the objects themselves as opposed to simply their shadows.
