Free is free and worth checking out for yourself, but as someone who has enjoyed a couple other "walking simulators", I hated this one.
This review makes me want to play it just to see if it's that bad:
Cool, another game I'll add to my library but never install!

Can't recommend it high enough - the ambiance, the graphics, the mood, the music. Well worth $20 it used to cost.

Suicide Simulator 2022 — sounds like a win to me!
Beat me to the punch. I didn't understand the ending until a coworker explained it to me. Don't play this game at work or else you might send the wrong idea.

Sure, the graphics and the music were fine but I never "played" another game where the authors were SO FULL of themselves. The "narration" keeps kicking in to say all this self important nonsense about the state of being and the meaning of existence while sitting in traffic....??? oh brother!

Is it just me or does this game romanticize suicide? No thanks!

Some of you need to go for an actual walk. Like outside, even.

There are at least 4 spots where you can see the ghost.

Gone Home for serious story, The Stanley Parable for humor.

Apparently there's 6! [fandom.com]

I loved this game when I first played it but I honestly never remember seeing any of the ghosts!

Excellent game well done and well thought out story will keep you engaged. I found this to be like reading a book, except the graphics were much better.

Compare this to epic give away and I don't even want to add it to my library. Come on steam, step it up and compete.

What remains of Edith Finch is really excellent (though not literally a walking simulator).

The Stanley Parable if you want something silly and odd and nerdy.

It's very atmospheric and beautiful, but it 100% is a walking simulator. You don't do anything but walk around and look around and wait for some internal dialogue to be spoken.

The prose is elegant though, I can see why some people would consider it pretentious especially since there's really not much story behind the prose. It's more to generate and feed into the atmosphere of the area. It's not as much as trying to tell a story as much as trying to create feelings.

Gone Home is a better walking simulator with a MUCH more cohesive story and more reason to explore, but it's not as pretty as Dear Esther. To be honest, if you just YouTube someone playing through Dear Esther in 4k, that's probably just as good as playing it yourself.

I wouldn't consider Stanley Parable a walking simulator though. But it IS hilarious and it's a game you DO NOT want to know anything about before playing it.

Did you prefer DayZ Mod or StandAlone for your walking/hiking simulation needs?
