Shady Part of Me is a decent puzzle platformer, which offers some inventive challenges and an overall polished presentation. That said, almost everything about the game, including its story, aesthetic, and core mechanics, are lifted wholesale from more memorable indie games like Braid, Limbo, Little Nightmares, and Contrast. Like a shadow cast upon your bedroom wall, Shady Part of Me may be fleetingly interesting, but it won’t leave a lasting impression.
The new Humble Choice game lineup is now available. The Humble Choice February 2023 lineup is here with games like Fallout 76 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. All told, players can grab eight games plus the Humble Games Collection.
