Because the whole background is not a flat surface. Consider--how do shadows interact with curved, or angular, surfaces? The curves and angles are already drawn in by hand, but in order for the shadow to bounce off those objects properly, you gotta have an underlying 3d gridwork. If this game is being made with AGS, as I assume it is, that's not a possibility.
