Search familiar places, examine objects, and piece together fragments of a life that seems to have disappeared.
A story about memory, loss,
and learning to let go.

Lingering Shadow is a 2D narrative puzzle game about memory, grief, and the difficult process of letting go.
You play as Lanlan, a middle-school student who still believes that her father is alive.
As she investigates the strange events surrounding her, memories begin to blur with reality.
What she discovers is not simply a mystery to solve, but a truth she has been unable to accept.
Search familiar places, examine objects, and piece together fragments of a life that seems to have disappeared.
Memories are not always reliable. Discover what happened by looking closer at the details hidden inside them.
Eventually, every investigation leads to a choice: remain inside the past, or find a way forward.
Lanlan still believes her father is alive.
She remembers his voice. She remembers the places they visited. She remembers waiting for him to come home.
But the more she investigates, the more contradictions she discovers.
Why does nobody talk about her father anymore? Why do her memories keep changing? And what is the shadow that follows her?
To move forward, Lanlan must first understand what she has been trying not to remember.
Development has entered the final act of Lingering Shadow.
