Twisted Lands: Shadow Town is the first title the casual adventure series from Alawar Stargaze. The game follows the steps of a young couple of amateur treasure hunters, Mark and Angel, as they set sail in search of pirate treasures. After a storm, Mark wakes up in an uncharted island to find that Angel is missing. Playing from Mark's perspective, you will have to explore the island to find your wife and eventually escape. As you might expect, you're not alone in the island; a constant presence probably of paranormal nature hunts you as you try to solve the mystery. That's how Shadow Town starts out.
Blending puzzles, mini games, and hidden-object scenes, Shadow Town is a game where interaction with the surroundings is key. In that way, you will be collecting useful tools from any environment and from hidden-object scenes, the latter granting you the objects of more value to your mission. Objects found will help you solve riddles and consequently carry the story forward. In HOG scenes, hints can help you spot objects faster; similarly, they will indicate the direction to move when you click the hint button on any other area of the game. If you feel you're stuck, it is always safe to walk a few locations back to see if there is anything going on in other game scenes. Your search takes you to scout an abandoned ship, houses, a church, a cemetery, and more, so be prepared for a lot of backtracking too. more
