[i]Note: So far I only played 4 of the presumably 7 chapters.[/i] [i]Schatte ～The Witch and the Fake Shadow～[/i] is by no means a must-play title, and there are a lot better games out there. But I'd say it's alright, it has some interesting and unique mechanics, and I enjoyed it so far, aside from some initial needless frustration. The story is simple: The Shadow Demon had been sealed away, but eventually broke free, and now takes control of animate beings. For some reason, Schatte, the main character, is unaffected. As a wielder of shadow magic, she heads out to help survivors, and to stop the contamination. To use shadow magic, Schatte needs to generate a shadow first. She can do this by positioning her familiar, a bat with a jack o'lantern head that emits light. She can then interact with shadows in several ways to stun a target, stabilize a movable object, cure a possessed creature, control a creature to borrow its abilities, or dive into the shadow of an object to either cl...

Key Features
A simple operation "throw", "jump", "stepping" realizes a wide variety of actions!!- Shadow Bind (Close) : Stops the target by stepping on its shadow. Shadow Bind triggered by directly stepping on a shadow does not require magic power.
- Shadow Bind (Far) : A target's time can be stopped by throwing a Shadow Knife at its shadow. Targets can be locked while holding the button. When targeting, the Shadow Knife needs magic power, so if there is not enough power, the spell will not work. During Light Automatic Lock mode, the targeting would be automatic.
- Multiple Shadow Bind : The Shadow Knife gauge increases when Shadow Bind is successful. By using the gauge, multiple Shadow Knives can be thrown at once. The binding time of Shadow Bind and the lighted area both increase. To use it must meet the condition.
- Shadow Reading : Materializes Hazy Shadows by stepping on its shadow.
- Shadow Dive : Moves around by entering a shadow. Great for climbing slopes. It can also be used to teleport between Teleport Gates.
- Shadow Marionette : Controls a living being by entering its shadow.
- Shadow Disperse : Evil spirits possessing an enemy can be dispersed by jumping and then landing on the enemy's shadow. It may require multiple tries for certain enemies.
- Shadow Double : Can be triggered with the help of the Ethereal Relic. You can operate shadow independently from the player character.

User Reviews
A decently good game albeit way too easy and simple. An extremely important note is that the default controls (for a controller), are quite bad. You may have to edit them using the unity launcher config (disable steam input temporarily if you have an xb360 controller). This game is alot more fun with better working controls.
The way game controls is awful and the Camera is a headache. I'd avoid this one really. but to each their own. it has some nice elements I like, like the art and a few other things but not enough for me to recommend it.
they should add voice actor for this game, but its fun tho n cheap exceed my expectation
I have to admit that it was better than expected. So, we have: - sexy shadow play - some story - decent characters - good controls - not so great camera work - smooth animations - different enemies - interesting level designs It could see some improvements, but this will lead to an unnecessary increase in production costs. All in all, a very good little game. Well, for Unity anyway. Oh, also remember that sometimes you can get stuck. I was forced to replay levels (100 times). Don't wait too long for an enemy to approach where it shouldn't be.
