Edengate: The Edge of Life is a third-person post-apocalyptic walking simulator.

You play as Mia Lorenson, who wakes up alone in a deserted hospital. It starts out feeling a little bit like the opening scenes of The Walking Dead, then goes in a different direction.

"Walking simulator" is often considered to be a bit of an insult to a game, but one of my favourite games of all time (Firewatch) is a walking sim.

It's got my interest piqued, but it's not quite as "keep-going" as I found Firewatch. I'm still interested in seeing where it takes me, and finding out what Mia has to do with the apocalypse that unfolded while she was unconscious.

I *have* a theory, but if it turns out to be correct, it will be so on the nose I'd probably come back and lower the rating; at this point, Edengate: The Edge of Life is:

4: Good
