Contrast is a film noir-style puzzle/platform game, using shadows as its main mechanic, telling a story of a little girl stuck between her dad trying to win his family back and her mom focusing on her musical career as a singer in what seems to be a New Orleans kind of town.

The gameplay is mainly easy to figure out puzzles and tight platforming, which is best played with a gamepad. Some platforming can be a bit finicky at times, due to the shadow mechanic. Various platforming puzzles might take a few tries because of that, but nothing that I found too irritating. The soundtrack is top notch and so is the art style of the game.

I don't want to go too deep into the story, as discussing it would be spoiler-y. But the world building is interesting and there are various collectibles and cut scenes that'll tell you more about what is going on.

I definitely recommend this game! I'm also excited about the developer's upcoming game that is in the works at Microsoft.
