PJ: "The year is 1995 and Katie Greenbriar has returned home after a year abroad. She arrives home late one stormy night to find a dark, empty house with her family nowhere to be found and valuables missing. Just what happened whilst she was away? And what are all these cryptic notes from her sister, Sam, about? Who’s Lonnie? And as a game reviewer, possibly the most important question of all: will I care when all is said and done?"
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.
