Shadow Puppeteer Developer Stream!

24 Mar, 2021

Welcome to the mystical world of Shadow Puppeteer, where you join the adventures of the boy and his shadow.

Invite a friend to explore the strange, yet beautiful world of darkness and light
in Shadow Puppeteer, an award-winning, local co-op adventure.

In this livestream, we will be playing Shadow Puppeteer with the developer team and new Sarepta members (who will join a blind playthrough!). We also will be testing the new "Remote Play Together" function of Steam and will play the game with community members.

What is Shadow Puppeteer?
Shadow Puppeteer is the very first game of Sarepta studio where you assume the roles of a boy and his shadow, separated from one another by the evil shadow puppeteer.

In this co-op adventure, you work together to manipulate light, solving puzzles that bring you closer to finding this villain and freeing other shadows he has stolen.

Who is Sarepta studio?
We are the people behind awards winning games like Shadow Puppeteer & My Child Lebensborn! Also, we are the people you'll see in this livestream. At Sarepta, we enjoy creating emotional and atmospheric games that stay with you even after the gameplay is done. In other words - we enjoy making people cry and feel emotions through our games :p

Why are you doing this stream?
If you haven't notice, there is a HUGE steam event going on right now! Since we are going through times where it is a bit harder to get together with friends and game on the same couch, we wanted to promote Steam's "Remote Play Together" feature through Shadow Puppeteer.

We also enjoy talking about our first game, so bring on the questions!

By the way, there is a big discount going on for the game if you are interested in testing it yourself.

We are very excited to meet you on Friday (26th) 18:00 CET!

Soundtrack Now Available, plus a Performance Update

29 Jan, 2016

After releasing Shadow Puppeteer on Wii U yesterday, we wanted to take a moment to thank the Steam community for your continued support and feedback on our game. Whether positive or negative, we take this feedback seriously and have used it to continuously improve Shadow Puppeteer since the game launched on Steam in 2014.

To show our appreciation for your support, we have released two Shadow Puppeteer-related updates on Steam, both of which are based on your feedback. They are the following:

SHADOW PUPPETEER SOUNDTRACK

Many of you have commented on how much you enjoy the music from Shadow Puppeteer and have asked whether we will make it available. Well, we have. The soundtrack, composed by Ragnhild Tronsmo Haugland, a classically trained musician/composer, and directed by Peter McConnell (Grim Fandango Remastered, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Star Wars: The Old Republic), is a collection of over 20 original scores, plus 20 "bonus tracks" taken directly from the game. It is now available on Steam for $2.99.
UPDATE #6
Today’s update is largely focused on optimization and performance, as well as the addition of some pretty loading screens :) Below are the details of this release.

Optimization
- Implemented occlusion culling

Update #4 PC patch

15 Apr, 2015

We released a patch today:

Worked towards resolving several different causes of game crashing and missing GUI as reported by users.
Fixed pickup that was missing in Dark Caverns. Verified that all pickups are now working due to feedback on other, possible missing pickups.
Fixed issue with pausing/unpausing the game would make it trigger twice, causing the state to remain unchanged

Thank you for all your comments and questions in the forums. We read everything, and have been working hard on addressing the issues.

We're making some major changes to the game (like new controls), but these aren't ready to share with you yet. Please let us know if there are other issues or bugs, or if you just want to give feedback. We are listening.
