The publisher, known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, delivers another fun, free-to-play experience.

Shadow Trick Gameplay:
As a shadow-shifting wizard, you'll navigate a magical castle brimming with challenging puzzles. The core mechanic involves switching between your physical and shadow forms to overcome obstacles, evade traps, and outsmart enemies.
The game boasts 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires skillful boss battles, demanding perfect runs without taking damage. Expect tricky encounters; some bosses, like the mischievous red ghost, utilize deceptive tactics.
Explore diverse environments, from standard levels to aquatic stages where you'll navigate as a shadow, facing off against unusual aquatic bosses.
