Gameplay

edit

The main character is a mannequin made of shadows, which players must lead across a path made of shadows in each level.[4] Players use the PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye camera to rotate levels and control light and shadows. The PlayStation Move controller functions as a light source in the game, and by pointing the light source at different angles to the objects in each level, players can manipulate the shadows of the objects to give the mannequin a path to the goal.
