Borrowed Shadow

Your best distraction is yourself, four seconds ago.

Slip into a night archive, collect three document fragments and reach the exit without getting caught.

As you move, you record a path. Replay your last four seconds as a blue shadow and let the guards follow your past while you make your escape.

Six floors. Different guard behaviours. One borrowed shadow.

How to play

• You move automatically. Turn with WASD or the arrow keys.
• Press Space to replay your last four seconds once your shadow is ready.
• On touchscreens, swipe to turn and use the shadow button.
• Collect all three fragments, then reach the exit.
