What did I think? I thought like damn, this is interesting. I'm going on a walk with some Scottish guy on a route he takes to clear his head. And he's sharing an important story.
The story was good, it didn't particularly resonate with me just because of lack of similar personal experience.
I really like the kind of shitty 3D scans of places visuals though. These are clearly real (its a 3D scan) and well-known to the creator, or at least his father, but the shittiness and pure white oblivion surrounding each location make it not too real and therefore not too boring, you know? Like I don't want to be actually doing a proper going on a walk sim, if I wanted that I could just go outside?
This felt like a really low-budget game. And I loved that. In a lot of media (ESPECIALLY games and film) you tend to see an association of low-budgetness with overrall poor quality and at best a so-bad-its-good aspect to it. But I played this and was immersed and involved and while I played I was thinking: "I could probably make this" like if I just took a few scans of my local area I could do this too! And that's nice to see.
