By Drew HurleyHaunting, evocative, introspective, atmospheric and memorable, Shady Part of Me feels like a journey - and, a very personal one at that. It's the kind of journey that many in the audience will be able to identify with. It may only take a few hours, but it's one worth experiencing more than once. Just eight people made this title, and it's exciting to see what that little team will be able to do next.

By Daniel WaiteThe gaming world is getting better and better with delivering touching tales and emotive plots. Shady Part of Me is a prime example of an interesting mechanic mixed with an excellent story. You may be disappointed, confused, or annoyed with the outcome. Don’t let it tarnish the journey you have taken. With a distinct art style, sombre music, and well-delivered pace, I can’t help but recommend you try this. Buy a copy here! Darkness and light must come together to help you escape your personal prison. Grab your shadow and solve the problems you face!

By Omid Sedigh ImaniShady Part of Me is an entertaining experience that will last around 4 hours, and will probably satisfy you in the end, but because of its 15 dollars price tag it might not be something that you want to rush into.

By DarkstationOverall, this is a fun, deceivingly complex game that portrays mental health in a unique and mostly accurate light. Between the simplified gameplay and lovely and dark graphics, this game is one to add to your collection especially if you enjoy problem solving and puzzles.This reminds me - better go call my therapist.

By Drew LeachmanOverall, The Shady Part of Me was a good time. There were times I didn’t know what was going on in the story, but the simple feel of its mechanics while still keeping the complexity of the puzzles really kept me going. Its a really interesting game that I think puzzle platforming fans should try, and with its rewind feature and the bit-sized progression aspects, it makes the entire thing an enjoyable time all the way though.
