FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Montréal (March 1, 2013) – Compulsion
Games, an emerging independent game studio, today
announced that it will premiere a playable demo of
CONTRAST™

the first opportunity for fans who have been waiting
enthusiastically, since Contrast was announced in March 2012, to

an updated trailer has been released highlighting a new character
design for Dawn as well as a fresh look at the 2D/3D puzzle
platformer that allows players to shift between a roaming 3D
landscape into a 2D shadowscape.

Contrast four years ago and are excited to finally unveil
it to the public. We chose to be part of the PAX East Indie

helped support the game during our successful Greenlight campaign
on Steam,” said Guillaume Provost, creative director and
founder of Compulsion Games. “
Contrast will transport players into a vaudevillian world
of shadows and mysteries, where story elements are discovered
through the manipulation of light, and it introduces new gameplay
paradigms for interacting and navigating the world.”
