SCHiM

Good ART project. Lots of passion and soul was put in it, and you can feel it.
But as game it is too long and repetitive.
Also story is not that deep, it could be 1-hour exciting experience instead.
You can beat it in 2-3 hours, but its kinda boring.
Anyway, i suggest to try it, and I hope developer will make more good games in near future.

SCHiM is a cozy puzzler if there ever was one. It's a really interesting genre. We're just going to call it "reverse platforming" because instead of jumping to platforms, you're jumping to the absence of platforms. Kind of a multi-dimensional Frogger, almost. The game does a really good job of having a narrative without any actual spoken words and the art-style is very relaxing. It kind of resembles the art-style of Untitled Goose Game and Unwording.
All in all, this game is really fun. Definitely two wings up!

I LIKE IT BUUUUUUUTTTTTT...
IN my opinion, the price of 26$ is too much. Very fun but still feels like a free game app for your smartphone. Especially because you can’t move freely.
After watching the video you think you can move freely, but you can’t, because sometimes you have to be in the shadow of a person and then control their body in order to progress. Which is mentioned in the description but never in the video of this game store page.
WHY CONTROL PEOPLE ANYWAY? WHY THE LIMITS?
I WANT TO MOVE WHEREVER I WANT AND HAVE FUN.
Controlling people is something that is usually the action of an evil character. I understand it’s related to the story but that is less fun.
If it's just to reach the objective of the current level, which is to reach another location on the map, then why not simply add more places with shadows, or add the option to control objects with wheels but you have to do it carefully and slowly so that people don't get suspicious???
Literally during the game you are in the shadow of a skateboard and can move it a little, and in the shadow of a bicycle, and also during the game this SCHIM can stretch or pull back objects to get a bigger and/or higher jump...
And if this SCHIM can control the whole body and limbs of a child/adult, then why can't it simply control objects with wheels as well or just only objects with wheels???
WHEN I first saw any promo for this video game I was very excited because it seems very fun and relaxing and I like to walk/hike outdoors but I have a very sensitive skin to the point that sunlight feels like I’m under a giant magnifying glass.
I do think it’s a great video game but the fact you can’t move freely is very annoying.
If the developers make another game like this but with the option to move freely wherever and maybe with more details and/or colors then I’ll definitely want to try it.
*I am not an expert on video games in any way.
*I have no problem with the visuals and/or audio.
*I was so excited about this game that I never read the description before buying so the disappointment is pretty much my fault.

SCHiM is fun, good looking. technically impressive, but it isn't very deep.
It's mostly about vibes and completing relatively simple puzzles and platforming challenges, which makes it perfect for people relatively inexperienced with platformers.
The gimmick of jumping between shadows is just so cool. Although I didn't enjoy the platforming very much myself, I still had a good time all the way through. I wish there were a bunch of tricky night time levels (which were all super great).

Level 14 broke my spirit. I absolutely hate the controls for PC as the buttons are all very close and I keep hitting the wrong ones. Also the Schim constantly jumps anywhere but where you want it to jump.
However, it is a cute relaxing game (apart for level 14, who thought that was a good idea??) and I like the art style.
I would only buy the game when it's discounted, though.

Writing the review as I am halfway through the game - I like it so far, I like the idea and the coziness (and the puzzles). I get stuck in some places / some puzzles are a little hard, but I didn't have to look up any guides so far.
edit: I've finished the game after 5 hrs and really liked it. I'd love to see more of this i.e. future games with similar playstyle / puzzle

The gimmick of this game is what initially caught my attention. Needing to jump between shadows as a sort of unique platformer was an interesting concept that I was wiling to try. The game is also made with a lot of care and passion, with the actual controls feeling pretty good. There was some sort of story about mental health and finding your purpose or something, but I didn’t care too much about that. The only thing about this game that kind of bugged me was the level design. Some levels were really long, some were really short, some were really easy, and some were strangely difficult and annoying. It didn’t really scale up as you get farther into the game as you’d expect. I found that the only way I could actually complete this game was to play it in small sessions since I’d get annoyed if I played for too long.
