WALDEN, A GAME - INDIE GAME AVAILABLE ON ITCH.IO - IT'S NAP TIME!
7Welcome to It's Nap Time! My good friends NayukiGP, Angyem and The Grand Poofarian have created a discord server called The NAP! They decided to create a joint series called 'It's Nap Time' where we all play through an indie game of choice to help the developer gain a bit of exposure for their game! Each video will be something completely different, some may be good, some may be not so good but we wanted to give something back to the people who put countless hours into creating their games!
In this video, I'm playing Walden, a game by GameInnovationLab! This game is based on the novel Walden by American author and philosophist Henry David Thoreau! Play as philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau in his experiment in self-reliant living at Walden Pond. Live off the land, seek out the small wonders and beauties of the woods, and find balance between your need to survive and your desire to find inspiration. Walden, a game is a six hour, exploratory narrative that begins in the summer of 1845 when Thoreau moved to the Pond and built his cabin there. You follow in his footsteps, surviving in the woods by finding food and fuel and maintaining your shelter and clothing.
At the same time as you strive to survive off the land, you are encouraged to explore the beauty of the woods and the pond, which hold a promise of a sublime life beyond your basic needs. And, you can interact with characters from Thoreau's life including mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, sister Sophia Thoreau, editor Horace Greeley, activist A. Bronson Alcott, naturalist Louis Agassiz among others.
The game follows the loose narrative of Thoreau's first year in the woods, with each season holding its own challenges for survival and possibilities for inspiration. It features the voices of Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Milk) as Henry David Thoreau, Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck, Sonic the Hedgehog) as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Misty Lee (The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite), and Tony Amendola (Stargate SG-1, Once Upon a Time) as Bronson Alcott.
