🔎 Point & Click 😱 Horror 👾 Retro ☯ Minimalist 🗺️ Adventure

The Shadow People is a retro point and click horror adventure game with a minimalistic aesthetic. As a student cramming for finals, you drive all the way to school, sit through class, and try to slog your way back home. But fatigue sets in, and dark creatures dance in the edge of your eyesight.
