A Part Apart

A Part Apart is a 2D psychological puzzle-platformer that explores the fragile and changing relationship between a boy and his shadow. The game is for two players - one living in the light, the other confined in the darkness - to solve puzzles together while dealing with emotional and narrative tension.

As the game develops, the illusion of choice becomes central: the boy turns to the shadow only when it helps him progress, and discards it when it is no longer useful. The shadow is always there - but its patience is not eternal.

A third presence - the voice of the system - guides, mocks and manipulates the two characters, slowly pushing them apart, questioning their trust and turning their relationship into a test of control and consequences.
