Having a truly Nordic yet original art style, the game tells the story of a boy and his shadow. Shadow Puppeteer is a co-op experience that focuses on teamwork and seeing the world through different perspectives. The combination of the characters' skills unite and complete them. The boy is one of the many people that have been separated from their shadows by the mischievous Shadow Puppeteer.
