Winner of Bit Summit’s Online Media Highlight Award and BIC Fest’s Excellence in Game Design Award, the title follows a headstrong girl named Emma and a mysterious teddy bear named Fenton as they attempt to solve the mystery surrounding Thomas Kane’s disappearance.

Along the way, players will immerse themselves in jaw-dropping visuals and a unique dual gameplay experience centered around light and shadow. An official soundtrack with 14 tracks, composed and arranged by Guillaume Nicollet, will be available alongside the title’s release. From playful melodies to haunting atmospheric tunes, Tandem’s DMCA-safe soundtrack will completely immerse fans in a universe of mischievous terror

“We can’t wait for players to begin their investigations alongside Emma and Fenton today,” says Philippe Dao CEO and Co-founder at Hatinh Interactive.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows features five beautiful Victorian-inspired worlds inspired by Jules Vernes, Conan Doyle and Tim Burton. Players have to carefully alternate between Emma’s top-down view and Fenton’s horizontal side-scroller view if they hope to escape these chiaroscuro dimensions alive, using the former’s lantern to cast shadows the teddy bear can cross while the latter activates switches that may be out of view.

As the duo navigates past intelligent obstacles and menacing horrors, they uncover clues regarding Thomas’ disappearance, the strange Kane family, and their place in this universe. Will Emma and Fenton escape the murderous manor filled with twists and turns, or has their fate already been sealed?
