What do you think?

A really nice game - with a very intense atmosphere, highlighted quite well with just few pixels/colors. I was curious about this specific interface (verbs / inventory / map movement) and well it's simple to understand and it works in a perfect way - just letting you entering in the game in few seconds and making things intuitive but not too easy.
Good work .-)

The Shadow People is a #pointandclick #horror #adventure game where you wake up exhausted the week before finals week. Gathering your things, you head to campus to attend class, and then after sitting through a lengthy lecture, you head back home.

After refueling at a gas station on the way back, you're driving alone in the dark and doing your best to keep yourself awake. Suddenly, you think you see someone in the road, and you violently swerve out of the way to avoid them. Unfortunately, your car gets smashed pretty badly in the wreck, leaving you stranded on a lonely section of highway.

Your cell phone is unable to get any signal, so you decide to hoof it, looking for any sign of civilization or cell phone signal. You reach a nearby town that you swear used to be just empty grassland. You navigate the silent streets, trying your best to figure out a way back home.
