About Contrast

This indie adventure features a female protagonist in a surreal 1920s dreamlike environment where the player moves instantly between 3D and 2D worlds. The third-person perspective focuses on manipulating light sources to distort shadows while solving puzzles by shifting light and shadow states. Vaudeville performers and circus magic elements populate the world, blurring boundaries between showmanship, magic, intrigue, and deception. Contrast is a single-player experience with a great soundtrack. Dawn acts as an imaginary friend for Didi. The main story takes about 3 hours to complete, extending to roughly 4 hours with extras or a full completionist run of 4 hours. It is Steam Deck Verified. The game comes from Compulsion Games, with Focus Home Interactive as publisher.Read more

Contrast is a game full of heart, beauty, and at least a few excellent puzzles.

As its name suggests, Contrast is a game of light and dark: a puzzle platformer with two well-realised female leads that occasionally buckles under the weight of its own mechanics. It's beautiful in parts, but also a little broken; I admire it for the first and can almost forgive it the second.

Lovely story and atmosphere marred by bad pacing and some broken puzzles

Wonky physics and prosaic puzzles prevent Contrast from making the most of its intriguing concept and intoxicating atmosphere.
