How is it not? Point and clicks are slow moving, yes, but that doesn't stop it from being a game.
It is a very basic and linear game. The only thing that is different is the story. Even then I wouldn't say that would be good enough for GoTY material. As for why I say it really isn't a game is how you really don't do much other than look around a bit and choose some text along with the occasional button mash sequences. The gameplay is severely lacking while the story isn't. Without much gameplay and mainly dialogue options I don't consider it much of a game.
I think it has a chance of winning in a XBLA type award. Your other argument is also basically just a description of point and click RPG's. The Walking Dead game is very similar to classics like Monkey Island.
