This game has very interesting mechanics and puzzles. The story is simple and straightforward, but its visuals and puzzles are its main features.
If you enjoy scrolling games with a dark theme and implicit storylines, this might be a good choice for your collection.

Contrast is a charming and atmospheric puzzle-platformer that blends noir aesthetics with a unique shadow-shifting mechanic. Set in a dreamlike 1920s-inspired world, the game tells a touching story through the eyes of a young girl and her mysterious, acrobatic companion. The art direction is stunning, and the soundtrack complements the mood perfectly, pulling you into this surreal, theatrical setting.
While the core gameplay is creative and engaging - especially the ability to shift between 3D space and 2D shadows - it's worth noting that the controls can feel a bit clunky at times. They're not quite up to today's polished standards, but considering the game's original 2013 release, they're understandable and don't detract too much from the overall experience.
If you're into narrative-driven games with a unique style and clever mechanics, Contrast is definitely worth checking out.

This game was so cute and wholesome. The visuals were exactly what i was looking for in a game and the jazzy environment was great. Easy to 100% and absolutely worth the money.
