The Level 595: Sallow Snake

Yeah, I teased this last week because I bought this a week ago as of the recording, which is I got Big Walk.

Yeah.

And then you decided to go take a hike in real life.

I don't think that's how the Big Walk works.

It's like a cooking game.

This is the game from the people who made Untitled Goose Game.

It is their sophomore effort.

It is a multiplayer game instead of a single-player game.

The best way I can liken it is it is like The Witness, but multiplayer.

And all the puzzles are about communication instead of any sort of symbolic language type of thing.

Yes.

It's all

Prox Chat is what it is.

Yes.

Yeah, so a lot of attention to detail is based on the voices and environmental sound effects and stuff like that.

It has the same sort of playfulness with items that it does in Untitled Goose Game, except here all the items are kind of reinforcing how to work together as a team.

So to give you an example, you might get a laser pointer because it's very easy to get lost in this game or get separated from the group.

If you just walk far enough away, you can't hear them anymore.

And if you don't see them, you're on your own now.

But if you have something like a laser pointer, you can shine that around and people will be able to find you.

You get things like walkie-talkies and lights, things like that to kind of make it easy to find one another.

There's a day-night cycle on the island that happens pretty frequently.

So especially during night, things like lights become really important to find your way around.

But the basic loop of the game is scattered across this island that you start out on are a bunch of set pieces or points of interest.

And they're kind of clearly demarcated where it's like they're very synthetic.
