How do you make a game where level design dictates the story? Watch Steampunks this week to find out how GONE HOME manages to tell one of the most compelling tales of 2013 entirely through exploration!
Dave writes: "If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
Starting today, Drawful 2, Gone Home, Hob, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until April 9 at 10 AM. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
If you're a fan of the narrative-driven walking simulator genre, then these titles really need to be in your Switch games library.
What an overrated piece of crap. And in case you think I just don't get arty games, Journey and Limbo are two of my favourite games ever. This game is nonsense. Even if you only play it for the story your going to be disappointed. It's a very simple tale that shouldn't have been told through a videogame. Biggest waste of 18 euro ever.
