Our story begins in the early 1920s in Didi’s bedroom. Didi is an independent, adventure-loving, spirited little girl who lives with her mother, Kat. Her father, Johnny, left Didi and Kat some time ago, but Didi yearns for her father’s return every day and compensates for his absence through Dawn, a friend, who always seems to be by Didi’s side when no one else is around.
As a single mother, Kat is doing everything she can to raise her daughter. She has been working hard for months to earn her spot as the headline act at the most popular venue in town: the Ghost Note Cabaret. Tonight is her big night, and possibly her last chance to secure top billing… but that means leaving Didi at home...alone.
In and around town, there’s a rumor that Johnny is back in town, trying to promote something big – a circus that is as entertaining as it is ambitious. But to do this, Johnny needs the help of the Great Vincenzo, the famous magician, to headline the show and draw some big crowds. Without Vincenzo’s help, Johnny could find himself in big trouble, as this deal isn’t exactly above board.
And this is where your adventure begins. As Dawn, Didi’s imaginary friend, you will step into the world of CONTRAST just as Kat puts Didi to bed and prepares for her big night at the Ghost Note.
As you delve into the world of CONTRAST, you will experience the events surrounding Didi’s family through her eyes. The City that Didi lives in becomes a playground where numerous puzzles, enigmas and platform sequences take place.
Dawn, like all imaginary friends, has her own special powers. She can become her shadow, and shift between the 3D and 2D worlds, as the situation requires. You should therefore exploit the shadows and shapes you have created by parachuting Dawn into a world of 2D shadows and back again!
As you roam around in 3D, you move through the different backdrops in CONTRAST, and must use all your inventiveness to solve puzzles and access locations that may initially appear impossible to reach. The City and its surrounding areas have a large number of light sources that can be exploited to create shadows. Use objects and elements in the décor to create your own shadow scenes – for example, the shadow of a bicycle wheel cast on the wall becomes a staircase to reach a higher platform. Distort these shadows in any way you like to create a path that can only be accessed in the shadow world!
