Big Walk, from House House, has been a game I have wanted to learn more about for a while now. It's the team that gave us Untitled Goose Game, and the weird mystery surrounding its setting, visuals, and gameplay had alluded us until the reveal gameplay overview trailer dropped.

It's a simple game premise. You walk around a big map with your friends exploring, completing puzzles, and likely getting lost or separated in the expansive world. The more I see it and hear the ambient music, the more I feel like there is a ******* secret at play here other than 'walk and talk' as the developers have been pitching it.

It feels like a game where no two play sessions are the same, where a group of friends can go different paths and discover things at different times. It's also nice to see a game focused on freedom with friends, creative fun moments, and living in the moment. The inclusion of proximity voice chat, so you can actually get lost and have to find each other using tools available to you, is a nice touch.

The puzzles briefly shown off also feel wonderful, and really play on this communication-type of game the developers are trying to craft. I'm sorry, I'm gushing now. It looks like the perfect game, and I want to get my hands on it as soon as possible. But of course, I need to wait until next year to finally see if it lives up to my anticipation.

After watching the trailer, I just needed a space to gush and talk about what I have seen in hopes someone else will watch the trailer as well and think 'that looks so cool!'

To pay back for you listening to my thoughts, I'd love to hear about your own indie game anticipations in the comments below. Let me know if there is something coming up you're excited for, either from Summer Games Fest or as a whole. I want to hear from you!
