The titular [url=store.steampowered.com/app/336130/Shardlight/]Shardlight is merely decorative throughout. This is an okay game. I went along for the ride but questioned some plot points and design decisions. The story moves at an odd pace and often left me a bit aimless about where to go or what to do next with a lot of back and forth needed. Talking to folks again after performing specific actions did not always feel intuitive, nor really like puzzles. One particular situation gave me pause due to one hint that you can't see again if you missed it the first time. Certain actions attempted too soon need to be done again later, while others seemed to happen out of nowhere. Typical point and click logic, I guess, that often makes more sense in retrospect. The plot gets pretty gruesome halfway through. Three endings achievable via a final choice; only one felt satisfying. The classic 1990's resolution renders huge pixels on modern screens and can satisfy that nostalgic itch but may look excessively chunky to some. Nice looking but relatively static scenes, smooth animations when there. Classic gameplay works as expected: left click action, right click info. Recorded VO for everything, generally decent with few bad exceptions (train lady). Fun audio bloopers.
The story is not as good as "Lamplight City" but solid enough with decent worldbuilding and characters that are improved further by the excellent voice acting. Somewhat light on puzzles and relies on inventory puzzles only but it is a point in the game's favor that the solutions are well clued in and moon logic is not required. The ending is a little pessimistic but not unreasonably so and it does align with what's been set up throughout the game. Not the greatest point and click but one that is worth checking out as long as you can tolerate dystopian settings.
