White Shadows is a modern fable, a distorted mirror of our own world, funny, fucked up and a little meaningful. The extraordinary puzzle platformer is set for next-gen consoles and
the PC in 2021.
Some time ago, the great war led to a plague which wiped almost all living things from the
face of the earth. Or so they say. Nobody is safe outside the White City, and the birds are
to blame for the plague. Or so they say. Only a shining coat of fresh white color will protect
you from the plague, and you must earn your ration of color by staying obedient. Or so they
say. But Ravengirl stopped listening.
Her escape pushes you deeper and deeper into ever more surreal parts of the city – slums
constructed out of the remains of a circus, giant workers’ quarters which travel through the
endless night, a perverted amusement park where white color flows endlessly, a forgotten
place where the other outlaws gather around a tree made of tin.
On your journey into the darkness you will become the main attraction of the half-human,
half-animal inhabitants of the city. You will catch up with your own past and become a
victim, a perpetrator, a prophet. You will find the resistance hidden deep in the belly of the
city and learn about the horrible truth of the white color and the world outside the city. Or
will you?
Similarities to George Orwell's Animal Farm are intentional and cannot be dismissed.
Without giving away too much, this dark world full of enslaved animal creatures deals with
deeply ingrained civic issues such as social injustice, racism as well as a ruling class that
tries to maintain its power through false reports, lies and violence after a worldwide
catastrophe.
