I think "find and kill my shadow self" refers to the original Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner (the old platform version). You had to jump through a mirror in order to finish a certain level, which released a "shadow you" in the opposite direction, laeving the real you with only a tiny fraction of your life, which is fully restored when you start the following level. Then you kept running into your shadow self again, unexpectedly, at later levels, and it kept hindering your progress on purpose (e.g.: stepping on plates which made you fall) until you finally got a chance to get close again and kill it.
When you finally get around to kill it, you're left with only a tiny fraction of your life, but it's fully restored the following level.
It's a great game indeed.
