Projection: First Light

The player controls two objects: the protagonist, a little shadow puppet girl named Greta, and a physical ball of light. Using the ball of light, the player can manipulate shadows which become solid and allow Greta to walk on. The length and angle of the shadows depends on the positioning of the ball of light. The game doesn't use any dialogue to explain the story, instead using characters' actions and visual cues.

The player explores four different time periods, Indonesia, China, Turkey, Greece, and 19th century England, each with its own unique style. Every character is a shadow puppet, as is the rest of the environment. The characters and foreground are black while the background is in sepia, replicating the style of tradition shadow play canvas.

Projection: First Light won a spot in the 2017 PAX Australia Indie Showcase. From there it gained plenty of attention, and featured in many popular gaming news sites such as Kotaku and Nintendo Life. It was also on display at PAX EAST 2018, with high reception from gamers and journalists. The game received mixed reviews, with Nintendo Life criticizing the gameplay but praising the visuals.
