Nightshades: Souls Lost
Dana Wahlers
NIGHTSHADES:SOUL LOST is a Alpha Prototype for a paranormal story game. Inmspired by games like "Simulacra", Nightshades is played on a smartphone interface and might wake the players voyouristic tendencies.
As the player, you find a lost phone and can start reading through messages and notes to find out the history of what happend and what is coming.
Look at pictures and try to decipher the code in them. Look closely or you might miss it.
Try not to get lost in the mystery.
