![]() It is an expressively funereal and thunderous experience. This game engages with annihilation as it is happening, and the intimate traumas and regrets and buried revelations that are unearthed when civilized society is pushed to the brink of oblivion. Or at least the end of "their" world as they know it. What's told here is a richly drawn tapestry of a town populated by complicated people reckoning with complex events the chief being the apocalypse itself. It's the massive scope that makes all the difference. With the luscious visual designs borrowing from Romanticist values and a breathtaking score by Jessica Curry, in ways this feels ahead of its time, achieving an overwhelming sense of isolation through the usual tropes of the "walking sim" genre. Undoubtedly something that deserves a sincere reevaluation given our contemporary woes and social unrest. A game of immeasurable power and relevancy. ![]()
