Essence is Pretentiousness with Purpose

Gary Alexander Stott writes: "Essence is a strange one. Imagine Skyrim's world fused with Everybody's Gone to the Rapture-esque gameplay, with a little touch of abstraction thrown in for good measure. That's pretty much the gist. A walking simulator of sorts, one in which the environment is altered as the player progresses. It's not going to replace Call of Duty anytime soon, but for those who appreciate this kind of thing, it looks to be a noteworthy title."
