- Shadow frog? Shadow frog! Shadow frog puzzler Schim has a free demo you can play now - 30 May 2024
The demo for puzzle game Schim , in which you play as a boy and his frog that only exists in the shadows, is out now on Steam . I’ve given it a whirl, and its pretty froggin’ delightful. The game has you progress through different scenes set in a chill, colorful townscape. You can switch at any time between boy and frog. The boy can go anywhere, but is frequently blocked by environmental puzzles. The frog has the means to solve such puzzles, by hopping between shadows naturally cast by the environment. They act like little inky puddles, and simply jumping from one to the other is a rare joy. Read more
