Steam review snapshots
Shadow Puppeteer is a good game to play local co-op with your daughter.I've seen some criticism of Shadow Puppeteer as not being a good single player game, and that may be completely true, but…The music is also really good, and creates a very nice atmosphere.But since this is a platformer you should play it with a controller, like all platformers should.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, free to play filtered by single-player.
