Contrast is an upcoming adventure/platforming game being released on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and Steam and it uses an interesting mechanic to separate it from the pack. You manipulate the shadows in the environment to your advantage by becoming a shadow yourself. The world completely transforms into a 2D esque platformer as you navigate the environments, solving puzzles along the way.
The basic premise to Contrast is that Dawn (the player controlled character) meets a young girl named Didi in a train station and it's revealed that Didi's mother is recently deceased and her father is estranged. Didi asks Dawn to help her "change the course of past events" in order to mend her family.
It's dark, it's moody and it's coming soon. Check out the behind the scenes trailer below that was put together by Compulsion Games, Contrast's developers.
