A Brief, Beautiful Walk: Thoughts on Old Man’s Journey

Their latest game, Old Man’s Journey, is much simpler in terms of scope and gameplay, but no less beautiful than their other works. In Old Man’s Journey, you play as the titular old man as he walks across an idyllic and hilly countryside, sometimes sitting down on benches or riding boats and falling asleep on a journey to… Somewhere. The journey begins after the bearded and balding protagonist receives a letter- there’s no word as to what’s in the letter, but it’s his primary motivation to keep walking. It’s a brief adventure puzzler with a poignant but ephemeral story.
