About

SCHiM is a game about jumping from shadow to shadow in a challenging and lively environment. This 3D platformer takes elements of light & animation and adds them directly to the gameplay, delivering an experience that you will only find in SCHiM.

What is a schim?

A schim is the soul and spirit of an object, thing, or living being. Everything in the world has one. A schim should NEVER be separated from their thing! This does happen to your schim, this schim who is attached to a human being is separated from him early on in the game.

Can you get back to him before it's too late?

      Schim reviews and comments

      SCHiM tries to explore loneliness, identity, and reconnecting with yourself, but it never really makes you feel it.
      I dropped it at level 20.
      The puzzles are fine, sometimes even smart, but they get repetitive fast.
      The game looks like it has deep ideas, but it doesn’t know how to express them.
      It shows meaning, but never lets you feel it.
