I’m playing catch-up with a trailer for Hudson’s Tower of Shadow, which you can catch after the break.

Far more interesting however is the fact that you can visit the Japanese site for a chance to try the game via a flash trial. It’s an extremely brief bit of play that demonstrates moving along the shadow path and adjusting the light source to extend the way forward.

Short as it is, watching the shadow boy move along with platforms as the light source changes direction leaves a considerable impression – though I did notice there was a very exacting location the demo wanted me to adjust the light to.

Check out the trial here, or catch the trailer after the break – or do both, that works too.
