If you loved Alan Wake and Firewatch, this indie adventure could be your next obsession

by

There’s always room for more captivating adventure games that leave you on the edge of your seat until the final moment, and there’s one coming out this year that’s definitely worth paying attention to. The independent team at TomorrowHead Studio is brewing up something truly thrilling and unsettling for us.

Lost at sea, lost in thought. The emotional journey of WILL: Follow The Light

In a different wording: Follow The Light constructs a storyline centered on escapism, similar to Firewatch, and emulates the eerie charm of Alan Wake in its aesthetics. However, it offers more than mere traversal between locations and puzzle-solving to progress the plot. You will also get to command a sailing yacht, featuring controls that strike a balance between realism and user-friendliness, inspired by the authentic experiences of actual sailors.

If it hasn’t persuaded you so far, have a peek at the remarkable visuals the development team is creating. They evoke strong memories of The Long Dark for me, but they have a more authentic feel to them.

TomorrowHead Studio’s game delves into the classic struggle between fathers and sons, preparing us for an emotionally charged experience that traverses tempestuous weather and the unsettling tranquility of isolation. The game seems to revolve around this central motif, providing a captivating mystery set against a backdrop of extreme contrasts – confronting both the unyielding power of water and the harsh trials of the terrain.

As a die-hard gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement after catching a sneak peek at the trailer! This seems to promise an incredibly engaging journey that might very well join the ranks of games like What Remains of Edith Finch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter – two unforgettable experiences etched deeply into my gaming memories.
