Night Keeper

1. Drag objects from the tray onto the castle table. The lantern casts their shadows onto the wall. Move an object closer to the light to make its shadow bigger.
2. Stack the objects to fill the dotted outline. Turn, flip or lay a piece down when needed. Real balance matters: an uneven stack can wobble and fall.
3. Hold the right shadow still for a moment. It comes alive, meets the little ghost and joins your wall of friends. The next night brings a new request.

You build with real objects and their shadows at the same time. A teapot, a goblet, a witch and a tiny castle emerge from a tray of familiar things.

Nine handcrafted nights take place in one candlelit castle. A little ghost teaches the first moves, offers hints and celebrates every new friend with its own short animation.
