Shadow Mend
Directed by:

Summary:
Explore a hauntingly familiar dream world where animal robots are trapped in the shells of their former selves. Within this surreal landscape, solve puzzles that mend broken hearts—including your own—while navigating the fog of lost memories. Shadow Mend is an interactive VR narrative experience that invites you to confront sorrow, heal, and emerge stronger. Initially launching on SideQuest, this whimsical journey resonates with universal struggles and is designed to be savored in a single sitting.
