About
Contrast is a puzzle and platform game developed by Compulsion Games and published by Focus Home Interactive. It was released on November 15, 2013, as an indie adventure title featuring single-player gameplay. The experience takes place in a dreamlike and surreal 1920s world that draws inspiration from vaudeville performance art and film noir aesthetics. A smooth and sultry jazz ambiance accompanies the setting throughout the game. Players control Dawn, who acts as the imaginary friend of a young girl named Didi. You can move between a fantastic 3D world and a mysterious shadowy universe in 2D instantly. Manipulating light sources in the 3D environment allows you to distort, enlarge, or stretch the parallel 2D shadow world. This ability to shift between light and shadow is central to solving puzzles within the game. The main story lasts approximately three hours to complete. Adding extras extends the total playtime to four hours. A completionist run of the game also takes about four hours in total.

Contrast Critic Reviews and Review Scores

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

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.
