We like the people at GAMBIT, and not just because they laugh at our jokes. GAMBIT exists to study what happens to your grey matter when you play games, basically, and they do it by giving you lots of free games to play.
Shadow Shoppe is comparatively old news, unveiled all the way back in August, but it's awesome so let's blog it anyway. Your character lives in a town where people have mysteriously lost their shadows.
This of course means people can no longer play shadow puppets, and there is thus much wailing and gnashing of teeth (all right, we're extrapolating a little here). Fortunately, a big fat dude with tache shows up one day and opens a shop, or rather a shoppe, or rather the Shadow Shoppe.
The Shadow Shoppe manufactures and sells shadows, and your job is to match each one to its owner by clicking the relevant label at bottom.
These nouns and adjectives range from the simple (e.g. "tall") to the complex (e.g. "mediator"). GAMBIT's aim is to gather data on how players associate body shape with character.
Once you've labelled a few shadows, smiling delivery boxes arrive to collect 'em. Give each box the shadow it asks for and it'll add another point to your rating. Complete levels by hitting the required rating.
Play Shadow Shoppe

Thanks for the review! We've also put up a bunch of concept art and design documentation from the Shadow Shoppe team on the GAMBIT website: http://gambit.mit.edu/updates/gotw/
