They have perfectly captured a slice of English heritage and culture and for that alone, this game belongs in a museum. In fact, part of the draw of this game to me is the aching nostalgia I feel for the village, it mirrors my childhood, it conjures memories of me visiting villages like this in the 90s. I am from small town England, I have lived in small villages and spent many a holiday visiting and staying in villages like Yaughton.
This is not a problem as Yaughton is potentially one of the best locations I have ever played in any game. But typically you will wander the open world village of Yaughton. The gameplay is standard fayre for the genre, a little more interaction than most. I started with the likes of Firewatch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and finally came back to the game I had spurned all those years ago. They fit perfectly into my life, a few hours of deep immersion in a well crafted world and story. By the time I played this, I was well versed with the "Walking Simulator" type game. It was only as I got older, more patient and more willing for an experience rather than the instant dopamine rush of of an FPS, that I sat down to play this game. I remember getting a copy of this game for free on Playstation Plus years ago, at the time I installed it, played for 5 minutes and decided it was boring. Not a day goes by where I don't feel the presence of this game in my mind. This game has affected me in a way that no other game ever has.
