Our take on Schatte ～The Witch and the Fake Shadow～ / 魔女と偽りの影
Combat centers on revealing an enemy's shadow with Lumiere, then using that shadow as the target for Schatte's abilities.
What is Schatte ～The Witch and the Fake Shadow～ / 魔女と偽りの影?
Schatte is a 3D action RPG about a shadow witch and her fairy lantern bat companion, Lumiere.
Across different stages, the pair face Shadow Demons using light and shadow abilities. Lumiere reveals enemy shadows, which Schatte can target with spells or step on directly to stop enemies. She can also enter shadows to travel, including between Teleport Gates, and take control of living beings through their shadows. Other actions let her reveal hazy shadows, disperse spirits possessing enemies, and create an independently controlled shadow with an Ethereal Relic. Throwing, jumping, and stepping form the basic controls for these abilities. Some actions use magic power or require a gauge condition.
