Genre: Visual Novel
Summary: After the zombie apocalypse, two strangers share a car ride and discuss things.
Gameplay: The main choice is which of the two characters to view the conversation from, but there are other options in responses.
Style: The view is mostly a singular shot of the car and its inhabitants with some inserts. The change in colors as night approaches is well done. The music is atmospheric as well.
Story: "Shadows" nicely covers the meandering and awkward nature of conversation and the differences in its two perspectives. Don't expect it touch upon any deep detail about this universe or these characters. Don't expect a resolution, either. There's only conversation here.
Conclusion: There's not much to "The Shadows That Run Alongside Our Car." Like the title, the game sometimes is too pretentious for its own good. But enjoyed as a quick, thoughtful conversation with a dark air it's not bad.
