Adventure Walking Simulator

A short and simple walking simulator with a great work on lighting.

As a sort or prototype/prequel for Eastshade, this game is a nice introduction to the setting. It only features a few locations but each is carefully designed. You get to say goodbye to the few important people in your life and while the conversations are short, they leave the impression that nothing more needs to be said. Just like Eastshade, it's a gorgeous game. Not all elements are stunning but the soft music, delicate lighting and overall art direction make it a work of beauty.

The replay value is very low. You could play through it a second time if you've missed achievements the first time round but any more than that and it could become boring.

Huh, for some reason I never realized Leaving Lyndow was a prototype/prequel for Eastshade, which is on my wishlist. I guess I never noticed the name of the dev/publisher, lol. I liked Lyndow for what it was, a nice, short walking sim with nice graphics. It feels like an intro/prequel. I played it last March for the “Let’s March” theme.

Does this mean you’re playing Eastshade soon? Or just playing the prototype to set up an Eastshade playthrough someday?
PS: upvoted. =)

Thanks! Yes, I intend to play Eastshade very soon. I’ll need some peace and quiet after shooting demons left and right in Doom 3 :)
