Help little creature Umbra after he loses his way in a scary new world and desperately needs to find his way home. 'Home', back to where the other Umbra-folk lurk and far from all the awful bright lights. In order to succeed he will need to make use of his environments to avoid blinding lights and follow the pack's traces to find his way home, and back to the darkness.
