Developed by the independent studio Monokel and published by Thunderful, fans of platformers can now download the cinematic platformer game White Shadows via the Epic Games Store for PC. This follows launches on the PC (via Steam and GOG.COM), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
White Shadows sees players play as a little Ravengirl trying to escape a brutal dystopia founded on propaganda that puts her at the bottom of its hierarchical social ladder. The game is pitched as having “striking architectural forms and a stunning monochrome art style combine to create a world of tragic beauty where the lies of the elite are plastered across walls”, and is a world where twisted forms of entertainment are used to keep everyone in their place and hope seems in short supply.
Composed of a vast network of towers rising from the void of post-catastrophe darkness into the sky above, the city our young heroine seeks to escape is a dangerous place to be. She will have to find ways to avoid the teeth of machinery primed to grind her into dust, leap across rickety infrastructure that bridges the cavernous darkness all around and avoid the watchful eyes of guards ready to gun her down. She will travel to the city’s brightest highs and delve to its darkest depths on her journey, discovering her destiny among the last free people alive.
To mark this release, PC gamers can pick up White Shadows at a 25% discount for a limited time via the Epic Games Store, Steam, GOG.COM and the Xbox Store.
It’s been great to hear the ways in which White Shadows has been interpreted and enjoyed since its release. By bringing the game to Epic and offering some discounts, I hope more people get the chance to check out our little piece of art.
