Wait... What? I don't... even...




Linger in Shadows is an art "video game" from Plastic. It's $2.99 on the PSN and the game itself lasts about 30 minutes.


The whole game you rewind and fast forward through this trippy area of different crazy things going on, you can also look around while doing this (this is how you get the trophies). That's it.

The only reason you should pick this up is if you're a trophy whore.

Linger in Shadows is an unusual ‘demoscene’ interactive art project that was released digitally by Sony for the Playstation 3 that went wholly unnoticed at the time and playing it now has highlighted why its short unfulfilling premise didn’t land.With the Playstation Now subscription service about to be abandoned and folded into the tiered Playstation Plus service, I felt it fitting to take a look through the games on offer before they potentially disappeared. In amongst the la...
