I love Edith Finch. It’s firmly my favorite among the walking simulator genre.
It’s very much a story first and the only reason it’s a game and not a movie is because the perspective allows you to be a bit more immersed.
If you want an example of a walking simulator done properly badly, give The Suicide Of Rachel Foster a go. It’s got an interesting idea, and it has zero clue what to do with it.
Kinda reminds me of a few Sci-Fi settings- Altered Carbon has people that enjoy murdering people, and since people can swap bodies freely that sort of thing is easily done. There’s an explicit difference between ‘sleeve death’ and ‘real death’, even legally. Killing someone’s sleeve- or body- is a crime, but it’s not murder anymore. If you actually destroy the lil chip that actually contains the person, that’s ‘real death’. Man I love that show. S1, at least.
Alternatively, Cyberpunk with it’s braindances could cater to an extremely similar audience.
