Hey everyone

A small but very important update today - we've added Russian localization! You should now be able to select Russian alongside the other languages, and it should default to Russian if you system language is set to Russian too.

So, for our Russian players, Здравствуйте! I'm sorry it took so long to get this out; next time, Russian will be a much greater priority.

There are also a few minor bug fixes, and the game should be running pretty smoothly for you now.

Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments or in the forums.

Cheers!

Hey team!

Thank you for the support so far! We have been paying very close attention to all your comments in your feedback/reviews, and we've been working really hard on addressing them. So, today we put out a major patch on Steam that fixed a whole lot of bugs (and you can now escape backwards through menus... huzzah!). We're really excited about it, because the game is playing really well, and much more as we originally intended.

Info on the patch is available here.

We'd love to hear your opinions on how the bug squashing went. And hey, if you feel like telling people about it, Contrast also just went on sale for 25% off!

Cool. Cool cool cool.

CONTRAST, the inventive 2D/3D puzzle-platformer in which the player shifts in and out of the shadow dimension playing light against dark, launches tomorrow worldwide on PC and Xbox LIVE® Arcade, and on the U.S. PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®4! The game will also be available on PS3 on November 19 in the U.S. and on November 20 in Europe. Finally, European PS4 players will be able to delve into this amazing world of light and shadows on November 29.

To celebrate this long-awaited release, Contrast lets us discover its Launch Trailer, giving us an ultimate sneak-peak at the game before you can play it for yourself!



"Creating Contrast was a journey, and ultimately a celebration of our craft,” said Guillaume Provost, creative director and founder, Compulsion Games. “It is a story that came together by the efforts and support of our team, our partners, our fans, and by the dedication of everyone who helped propel the game to such unexpected heights. We are deeply grateful and humbled by the community's reactions, and the overwhelming enthusiasm that at long last, helped bring Contrast to light."

CONTRAST, developed by independent Montréal-based studio Compulsion Games, draws players into a surreal 1920s dreamscape; a vaudevillian, film noir-inspired world where the boundaries between showmanship, magic, intrigue and deception are blurred. In CONTRAST players take on the role of Dawn, the imaginary friend of a little girl, Didi. Every imaginary friend is special, and Dawn is no exception. She has the unique ability to shift from the striking 3D fantasy stage into the mysterious 2D shadowscape. Like every family, Didi’s isn’t perfect; in fact they are as unique as they come with an aspiring cabaret singer mother and an absentee father. Didi’s only wish is to reunite her family. As Dawn, use shadow shifting abilities to solve intricate puzzles and uncover the secrets that plagues the family’s past.

With lyrics written by Compulsion Games and music composed by WaveGeneration Audio, specifically for CONTRAST, the original soundtrack envelops players with cabaret inspired music and the entrancing vocals of jazz singer Laura Ellis. Accompanied by a full voice cast, CONTRAST brings its illusory world to life as players leverage light sources and manipulate real-world objects to affect the shadows placement, dimension and overall weighting to solve multifaceted puzzles.
