schattenjagd

schatten_01schatten_02schatten_04

film noir takes us into a realistic world in abstract moving pictures. it doesn’t feed us with heroic hollywood like heroes, the characters won’t fit into the familiar categories of good or evil, so is the duality of the visual image. in harsh black and white tones interluded by the shades of grey we see the extreme divergencies of the morality in a visual form. in the world of computer games seldomly exists such a break in the character of the avatars we take control over. “Schattenjagd” as a small adventure game gives you a hint of the feeling of beeing on both sides of the coin as we are always in everyday life. there is no good or evil just the shades of grey.
the concept of the game was developed as a short comics strip, you will find more about the idea and the making of the game here. the site is in german but you can download the game there either in an english or german version.
