Overall the controls can be a bit aggravating at first till you get a handle on it. One thing that would have been useful is the ability to zoom; sometimes it was a bit hard to hit the platform buttons. The graphics and sound are surprisingly well done. There is even a multiplayer for two players to race one-another. The game is a solid mix of platform and puzzle and if you like the idea of using an orb to get around, then take it for a spin.

To breach the walls, Gardal with the help of his two minions Quiph and Morg must sacrifice the purest, untainted soul of Erwyn who is prophesied a loooong time ago."
There's a good deal to appreciate in Fading Shadows. It's an unusual concept that, at its best, is compelling. Unfortunately, camera issues and poor level design choices pop up too frequently, upsetting the delicate balance of simple yet absorbing puzzle adventure gameplay that the game occasionally manages to achieve.
