How to play Shadoworld Adventure
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
