If you’ve been hankering after a Limbo style, cinematic 2D platformer for PS5 then the newly announced White Shadows could be just the ticket.
Revealed during today’s Guerrilla Collective stream, White Shadows thrusts players into a grim world divided by a deadly pandemic whereupon players take control of Ravengirl, a young girl attempting to make her way to Tin Town, where the last vestiges of free humanity live.
You can catch the Steam page synopsis for White Shadows and the first trailer below:
White Shadows is a modern fable, a distorted mirror of our own world, funny, fucked up and a little meaningful.
A long time has passed since The Great War. Humanity is half human, half animal. What remains of civilization lives in The White City, a vast network of towers rising high into a dark sky.
To protect against a deadly pandemic, those who can afford it try to keep themselves alive — by covering their skin in bright white light.
But their safety is based on a lie, brutally exploited by the ruling wolves. To keep order. To keep themselves in power. But their grip on the world is starting to crumble. Something is coming.White Shadows is the story of little Ravengirl trying to escape this huge city, its deadly traps and weird trials.
To set herself free, Ravengirl needs to find her way into the brightest highs and the darkest depths of the city, to a mythical place called Tin Town, where the last free people live.FEATURES
