Walking Simulator

A walking simulator is exactly as the name suggests. It’s a game that involves a lot of walking, and walking, and some more walking.

These games are also called environmental narratives which is a nicer term.

They don’t JUST contain walking, although that’s the main portion of them, but a lot of walking sims allow you to look at pieces of the environment for backstory, or contain puzzles to progress.

Some examples of well-known walking simulators are:

What Remains of Edith Finch
Death Stranding
Firewatch
