A Lacklustre But Interestingly Conceptualised Game Walking simulators are to games what art-house is to film. Whilst the quality is a little hit or miss at times, both generally tend to have a strong thematic identity and attempt to tell a story in an artistic manner.

Episode Guide Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 I’ll be the first to admit, I wasn’t sold on the first season.
