SCHiM is a game with an interesting wrinkle; you cannot traverse well-lit ground and may only move through the shadows, hopping from one to another with frog-like leaps to reach your objective. Some of its best levels lie at the start of the game, where you follow the human that you – a shadow being known as a SCHiM – are attached to as they grow through life and experience childhood, school, university and love, before it all – literally – falls apart. One day the man trips and falls, severing the link between himself and his shadow. It’s your job to reunite the two.
