About the game

SCHiM is a charming indie game about helping a lost shadow find its way back to its human by hopping around in the shadows. As you look for clever ways to move around in the world, you uncover small stories and charming details hidden in the environment.

Key features

A story of a person losing their shadow - A schim is the soul and spirit of an object or living being. Everything in the world has one, and it should never be separated! You need to find your way back to the human you belong to, before it's too late!
Unique 3D platforming - You can only move in the shadows, so you'll need to find clever ways to leap into the shadows of animated objects and moving beings to use them as your pathways.
A beautiful abstract world - The color palette changes in each level to capture the setting, time of day and mood of every location you explore.
Each level has a story to tell - Each new level has its own living scenery with small stories to uncover, inspired by real Dutch/European cities and rural locations.
Hidden in the shadows - There are lots of hidden items to discover in SCHiM, and when you find them, you help other schim restore the connection to their thing.

Thank you all for your support over the years! 🙌

Enjoy!

Demo still available.
