Can you deliver every parcel with a shorter, smarter route? 36 PUZZLES. SIX DEPARTMENTS. Discover new rules as you move through the factory: one-way gates, fast and slow tiles, limited belts and turns, crossings, and timed shutters.

Shadow Loom

Read full description

Change the light. Shape the objects. Discover the shadow. Shadow Loom is an atmospheric puzzle and discovery game where light and shadows become the key to every mystery. Move the objects on the table, change the position of the light and reveal the hidden silhouette on the wall. Ordinary shapes can transform into something completely unexpected when the angle and lighting are just right. Every puzzle hides something waiting to be discovered. PLAY WITH LIGHT Move the light and experiment with the shadows created by the objects around you. Sometimes a tiny adjustment is all it takes to reveal the hidden shape. DISCOVER HIDDEN FIGURES Look closely at the silhouette and discover what is hiding inside it. From animals and legendary creatures to nature, structures and mysterious objects, there are many different shapes waiting to be found. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Every discovery becomes part of your collection. Explore different categories and try to complete them all. Animals. Legends. Nature. Objects. But not everything has been revealed yet. A CALM, MYSTERIOUS ATMOSPHERE Warm lighting, dark environments, wooden textures and lo-fi music create a relaxing atmosphere designed for playing at your own pace. Shadow Loom is less about speed and more about observation, curiosity and creativity. Move a piece. Change the light. Watch the shadow. Discover what it becomes. Shadow Loom. Change the light. Bring the shadow to life.
