Book of Shadows

Shadow Puppetry. Real magick. Fake mystics. You decide what to believe.

Two puppeteers cast giant shadows to conjure a hilarious occult mystery. Teenage sceptic Vi is forced to live with her grandmother, who claims to be the 200-year-old mystic and spiritual guru Madam Blavatsky.

When Vi's friends begin to disappear, she reluctantly teams up with Granny to uncover a conspiracy of séances, unhinged cultists and suspiciously interested government agents. A visually striking dark comedy based on a possibly true story.

Learn real magic. Summon demons. Impress your friends.

Sceptics welcome. Spirits optional.

From the award-winning Japanese company behind Shunga Alert and Space Hippo.
