Alone in the Park

This isn't my game, and it's not an announcement as such. And the game was released in 2011, so it's not new. But I came across this game a few weeks back, and though it's not a text adventure, it is a graphical adventure. And I highly recommend it.

It has some interesting UI and game mechanic concepts. I especially liked the grid on the right that gathers things that you come across so you can refer to them later, whether they be people, places, and even concepts. And you drag things onto people to ask them about them. (I was proud I worked out how to ask someone about themselves, though it seems trivial in retrospect.) And all without a parser...

Some genuinely funny writing there! I love the concept, but I think visually it could look better. The tracer dots as you move around the map are very clever... it even knows when you go meandering through the woods rather than round them.
