The independent scene regularly offers new original works that are pleasant to discover. Announced a little over a year ago, Tandem: A Story of Shadows is revealed today through an original trailer that focuses on its narrative.
The title was developed by the Paris studio Monochrome and published by Hatinh Interactive Platform game with puzzles and offers a form of duality in gameplay. In fact, you switch between classic phases in 2D and passages in plan view. The developers promise a synergy between the different mechanics to solve the 45 puzzles that will shape the adventure.
The action will take place in a city in London in the middle of the Victorian era. Thomas, the son of the famous Kanes couple, wizards of national repute, has disappeared. At the controls of Emma, one of her biggest fans, you will look for the young man. On your way you will meet Fenton, Thomas’ adorable teddy bear who is endowed with magical powers. The latter will also be playable and its help will be invaluable in overcoming your enemies. Indeed, Emma cannot attack and reflection will prevail to move forward. Finally visually, the game offers artistic direction at the crossroads between German Expressionism and Tim Burton.
Tandem: A Story of Shadows expected for Xbox One, PC, Switch and PS4 this year. The title can be played on consoles of the new generation via backward compatibility.
