About the game

On your own, you have to reach a shelter by moving only through shadows, reading them to plan your route. Stay out of the deadly sunlight as the sun slowly climbs. The safe path shifts as the light rises.

Light and shadow as the core mechanic. Dynamic light sources casting shadows you run through. A clock you race against. Running, with quick decisions and a bit of strategy.

niklaskking kept learning Three.js by building this game. The concept came from the creator's interest in lighting, post-processing, and shaders. "Learning by doing," the creator writes.
