Perhaps one of the most important aspects of a game such as this is the soundtrack and score. And every moment will be imprinted on you. You'll explore a caravan park, a train station and the observatory. It will take you through the village, across farms, and houses.
It hooks you in and makes you want to explore, make you find the answer to where everyone has gone to. The story is simple, yet intriguing and powerful. They have perfectly captured a slice of English heritage and culture and for that alone, this game belongs in a museum. In fact, part of the draw of this game to me is the aching nostalgia I feel for the village, it mirrors my childhood, it conjures memories of me visiting villages like this in the 90s. I am from small town England, I have lived in small villages and spent many a holiday visiting and staying in villages like Yaughton. This is not a problem as Yaughton is potentially one of the best locations I have ever played in any game. But typically you will wander the open world village of Yaughton. The gameplay is standard fayre for the genre, a little more interaction than most. I started with the likes of Firewatch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and finally came back to the game I had spurned all those years ago. They fit perfectly into my life, a few hours of deep immersion in a well crafted world and story. By the time I played this, I was well versed with the "Walking Simulator" type game. It was only as I got older, more patient and more willing for an experience rather than the instant dopamine rush of of an FPS, that I sat down to play this game. I remember getting a copy of this game for free on Playstation Plus years ago, at the time I installed it, played for 5 minutes and decided it was boring. Not a day goes by where I don't feel the presence of this game in my mind. This game has affected me in a way that no other game ever has.
