Dave writes: "You don’t often find a debut game that looks as assured as White Shadows. From first-time developer Monokel, it’s a narrative-led adventure game in the vein of Inside, and not many people would dare to wrestle such a critically acclaimed title with their first attempt. We took the opportunity to chat with Daniel, the Creative Director of Monokel, to talk about the Herculean task of making a first game, and what it’s like to unleash it on an audience."
"At the festive gala of the prestigious German Computer Games Awards 2022 which took place last night, "White Shadows" won the Newcomer Award for "Best Debut"." - Thunderful/Monokel/Mixtvision.
Mon said: Cinematic puzzle games have spiked throughout the years with titles like Limbo and Inside, and White Shadows is no outsider in this category. I was able to enjoy the haunting levels of this game and I would love to see what Monokel has to offer in the future in this genre as they did a good work in seamlessly tying the narrative and the design. It’s a dazzling lightshow that is appealing on the visuals but is also heavy on the morals.
"There's no denying that White Shadows' atmosphere and visuals are the stars of the show so I sincerely want to see the developers make a second game that hopefully offers a lot more substantial gameplay and perhaps a narrative that's open to some interpretation." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Looks like Limbo
