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.

Every arrow wants out. Tap one and it flies off the way it points โ€” unless something is in the way. ONE RULE CHANGES EVERYTHING An arrow that passes a mirror FLIPS it. So whichever arrow you clear first rewrites the paths of the ones left behind. Not every open arrow is the right arrow. IT TEACHES, THEN IT TESTS The first time a new rule appears the game stops, explains it, and lets you try it in a level with no traps. Mirror, spinning arrow, rock, portal, chained arrow, iced arrow, counted arrow. 300 VERIFIED LEVELS From 7 arrows to 32, on boards from 5x5 to 8x8. Every level is proven solvable by a solver before it ships โ€” and proven to require real thought. THE DAILY DUEL One board a day, identical for every player on earth. Solve it and share your grid: green for every clean move, red for every wasted one. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - Works completely offline - No account, no sign-up - Never an ad in the middle of a puzzle - Colorblind mode, effects can be turned off - 12 languages
