Evaluation
White Shadows launched on December 7, 2021 as Monokel's debut title — a self-contained cinematic puzzle-platformer. The launch post described the game's release as "it's done!" and the team immediately signaled they were moving on: "We'll go back into our cave now and work on the next thing." Following launch, Monokel issued one bug-fix patch on December 14, 2021 addressing a range of issues reported by players. No DLC, expansions, or additional content were ever announced or released for the game.
On the game's one-year anniversary (December 7, 2022), the developer posted a heartfelt thank-you message to players and partners — but made no mention of any upcoming content for White Shadows. The post explicitly stated "There's more to come from Monokel," which refers to the studio's future projects, not additional content for this game.
There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmaps, and no developer communications suggesting further content for White Shadows. The game shipped as a complete, standalone experience and has remained so. The last developer communication was on December 7, 2022.
Evidence
One-year anniversary post thanks players and collaborators, then states the team is returning to work on 'the next thing' — indicating future Monokel projects, not additional White Shadows content.
Launch post declares 'it's done!' and describes White Shadows as Monokel's first game, with the note that 'it won't be our last' — framing the release as a completed milestone, not the start of an ongoing content cycle.

About this game
White Shadows is a cinematic puzzle-platformer where you play as a little Ravengirl trying to escape a brutal dystopia founded on oppression and violence that puts her at the bottom of its hierarchical social ladder.
Composed of a vast network of towers rising from the void of post-catastrophe darkness into the sky above, the city our young adventurer seeks to escape is a dangerous place to be. She will have to find ways to avoid the teeth of machinery primed to grind her into dust, leap across rickety infrastructure that bridges the cavernous darkness all around and avoid the watchful eyes of guards ready to gun her down. She will travel to the city’s brightest highs and delve to its darkest depths on her journey, discovering her destiny among the last free people alive.
White Shadows’ striking architectural forms and stunning monochrome art style combine to create a place steeped in atmosphere. It’s a world where the lies of the elite are plastered across its walls, where twisted forms of entertainment are used to keep everyone in their place, and where hope seems in short supply.
- A visually stunning and narratively rich dystopian setting with a distinctive art style
- Varied puzzle platforming with unique scenarios that keep things fresh
- An exciting personal story combined with social critique
