The kind of game that knows what you want before you do, and gives you what you never knew you needed besides
Sit down, wherever you are. Find a spot beside a campfire, around a space heater or on the 15-year old futon in your friend’s dad’s basement, and get comfortable. It’s time for a story.
Worldwalker Games’ debut bears few of the hallmarks of an overnight success: no jaw-slackening visuals, no Twitch-friendly multiplayer mode, no attractive protagonists. The elevator pitch is fine, if hardly likely to set hearts aflame: a is remarkable: it’s the product of a thousand smart decisions, the kind of game that knows what you want before you do, and gives you what you never knew you needed besides. And it is unapologetically earnest, from the tip of its +1 magic staff to the toes of its leather boots of swiftness.
