Speaking of art, have you seen SCHiM yet? Ewoud van der Werf and Nils Slijkerman’s upcoming game, where you help a lost shadow find its human owner through shadow hopping, is coming to the Steam Next Fest, but if you want an exclusive, the demo’s available now.
Effectively a 3D platformer, in your quest to find your owner, you’ll discover plenty of interesting stories in this ‘relaxing and lively environment’.
SCHiM PS5 Review: What Lies In The Shadows? Innovation!
SCHiM doesn’t reinvent the platform game, it creates its own new world of shadows in this delightful indie with a heart.

Key features include:
- A story of a person losing their shadow – A schim is the soul and spirit of an object or living being. Everything in the world has one, and it should never be separated! You need to find your way back to the human you belong to, before it’s too late!
- Unique 3D platforming – You can only move in the shadows, so you’ll need to find clever ways to leap into the shadows of animated objects and moving beings to use them as your pathways.
- A beautiful abstract world – The color palette changes in each level to capture the setting, time of day and mood of every location you explore.
- Each level has a story to tell – Each new level has its own living scenery with small stories to uncover, inspired by real Dutch/European cities and rural locations.
- Hidden in the shadows – There are lots of hidden items to discover in SCHiM, and when you find them, you help other schim restore the connection to their thing.
SCHiM, published by PLAYISM and Extra Nice, will be part of the Steam Next Fest, but you can play the demo now!
