Yet another interesting and exciting game is on its way to the Switch, and this time things are a little shady... because there are... puppets... in Projection: First Light.

Terrible puns aside, Projection: First Light is a gorgeous looking platform adventure about light manipulation, curiosity, and 'lost art'. By using your light, you can alter the shadows on the level to make them into physical platforms, and to help Greta solve each puzzle.

There are lots of environments to explore, from the smoggy city of London to the jungles of Indonesia. Shadowplay Studios Founder, Michael Chu, said, "The idea behind Projection: First Light went off like a lightbulb in my head when I recalled playing with shadows on a wall as a child." Hopefully they'll manage to successfully recapture that feeling of childlike wonder in the game.

Projection: First Light launches in Q2 2018 on PC, console, and the Nintendo Switch.
