The Shape of Shadows
A connected path game about stage magic, true magic, and finding independence from a mentor. Players take the role of an assistant who must claim their own latent gifts after a magician becomes trapped in a dangerous situation. The story explores the tension between apprenticeship and equality, along with the cost of standing on one’s own. The game is presented through a curated live experience using email, PDFs, physical materials, and additional ephemera.
