Contrast, the platform/puzzler developed by Compulsion Games for PC, the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Arcade is pleased to tell you more about one of the main characters from its cast through a charming, jazzy trailer: Didi, a little girl trying to reunite her parents with the help of Dawn, her imaginary friend.

In this trailer, discover Didi, an independent, adventure-loving, spirited little girl who lives with her mother, Kat. Her father, Johnny, left Didi and Kat some time ago, but Didi yearns for her father’s return every day and compensates for his absence through Dawn, a friend, who always seems to be by Didi’s side when no one else is around.

As you spend time with Didi, you will cast light on a shadowy story, exploring an adult world as seen through the eyes of this little girl. Play as Dawn and manipulate light sources to distort, enlarge or stretch the 2D shadowscape, and combine that with your shadow shifting powers to help solve the many puzzles surrounding Didi’s troubled family.

Contrast will be playable at Gamescom Cologne in Germany, August 21-25, at Focus Home Interactive’s booth (Hall 4.2, #A-23a) or on Koch Media’s booth (Hall 9.1, #B-011). Journalists and visitors will be able to take the role of Dawn for some exciting minutes of gameplay!

A playable demo of Contrast will also appear at PAX Prime in booth #685. Journalists at PAX Prime are invited to set a private appointment with the team to see a new press demo highlighting features not shown at E3 or GamesCom with opportunities to interview various members of the team.
