Your Medium

For Pirate Software 2024 Gamejam

Play puzzle levels as a shapeshifting shadow monster vulnerable to light called Medium as it attempts to return to its owner by following the guidance of, ironically,  a strange glow.

Avoid light, rest in the shadows, and grow stronger so that you can complete your journey.

(Apologies for a few janky lights! WebGL did a number on them.)

"ALSO: Accidentally made the end of the third level unbeatable in the latest build whoops" Is this the level with a moveable box and two fireplaces with a spider corpse in the corner? or am I just being a muppet?

The third level is the outside level. As it turns out, there was another solution to the third level that I hadn't realized which my little sibling figured out. It's not unbeatable! For the spider level, its definitely beatable.

Ah, you can just walk past the fireplaces and hide in the gap between them. I was trying everything I could with the box.
