GameplayeditThe player is given the option of choosing which of the two protagonists they play as. Carnbys side of the plot is based mainly on fighting the monsters by physical means, particularly with his trusty double barreled revolver while Alines is more centered on puzzles. The two occasionally meet up, and the main areas of plot intersect. The player soon comes under attack from Creatures of Darkness that appear out of nowhere and seem to be living shadows. These Creatures of Darkness are eventually revealed to be reptilian, silicon based life forms from the center of the Earth, an enormous world of dark caverns known as the World of Darkness. Shadow Island apparently contains one of the many portals to this underground world. True to their name, the games enemies are averse to light which apparently turns them into ash, and this figures heavily in gameplay. Players can use their flashlight to repel certain creatures, and killing them is accomplished with such light producing ammunition as magnesium bullets and phosphorus shells. Light plays a significant role in this game. One of the games main features is the flashlight that can be used to light up the games darkened scenes, revealing hidden details and uncovering items. To this end, the developers crafted an unusual graphics engine which allowed the 3. D player characters flashlight to properly illuminate and cast shadows on the 2. D, pre rendered backdrops. This was accomplished by rendering the backdrops at various levels of illumination and including information on the distribution of objects in the scene. The graphics engine could then properly use brighter versions of the backdrop where the flashlight was expected to be casting light, and leave shadowed areas dark.
