Without a second thought and not wanting to let this massive lead go to waste, Emma chases after Fenton the teddy bear and arrives at her intended destination: The Kane Manor. In the midst of trying to compose herself from that near miss, a teddy bear named Fenton, possibly belonging to Thomas, falls out from the carriage and suddenly jumping to its feet and started pursuing after the captors.

The opening of the game immediately puts you into action in old-timey London, your screen filled recent newspaper editions with the front page documenting the recent kidnapping of Thomas Kane, the son of a famous illusionist family, is spread across the desk of our very protagonist: The ten-year-old Emma who is determined to put this cold case to rest and rescue Thomas.īut as she steps out in the open and made her way towards the Kane Manor to begin her investigation, she just so happened to catch a glimpse of Thomas Kane himself in a horse-drawn carriage moving at full speed. Tandem: A Tale of Shadows’ story is one that carries out the entire narrative experience carefully crafted by the people over at Monochrome Paris and is perfectly balanced out by its interesting gameplay mechanics. Tandem is definitely a palette cleanser of a game that I need to really give my brain an IQ workout, and it stands as one of the more unique takes on puzzle gaming that I have seen in the genre with some great level design, challenges and mechanics, and stunning visuals for a short, but otherwise sweet puzzle-platformer adventure. That being said, when I was given my game of the week by the name of Tandem: A Game of Shadows by the fine folks over at the NYX Game Awards, I was honestly not expecting me to genuinely sit still in my chair and leaning forward inches from my monitor to brainstorm an overly-complicated solution in an otherwise braindead and simple maneuver to get through the first part of the level midway through the game. Just give me a linear story, a gun or a sword, a purpose, and I’ll be on my way with my brain turned off. And that is a major contributing factor to why I don’t do incredibly well with extremely open-ended games like those from the Elder Scrolls franchise, Soulsborne games, and especially the widely-acclaimed Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The worst part? I am required to pay attention to every little detail and note every single one of them down in a.
Especially since it’s literally my only job to play them every day, five days a week. So, confession time: I’m kind of a dumb person when it to video games.
