It’s almost exactly definitely like Death Stranding, but free!
We’ll seeDeath Strandingon PC in June, Kojima Productionsannouncedthis week, but that doesn’t matter any more. Today saw the launch ofWalking Simulator, a free game about roaming the post-apocalyptic wastes of the near-future, delivering packages and chugging energy drinks. If you squint, imagine Norman Reedus’s locks brushing against your ear, and huff the gas from an old fridge, it’ll be almost exactly like you’re playingDeath Stranding. Walking Simulator is clearly some sort of piss-take, though even after playing I’m not entirely sure what’s joking and what’s broken.

Except our lad here doesn’t need to worry about balance, he can leap around with a teetering tower of boxes on his back no bother. Kojima Productions must be kicking themselves for not figuring out how to program Death Stranding so Norm wasn’t always stumbling and tripping.
Though… sometimes our anonymous postman does get into physics trouble. I’m genuinely not sure whether this was a glitch or a joke.
Why not both?
The main menu shows the developers, Pugscape plan to make two more Acts, including one with a landscape looking a whole lot like Death Stranding, but who knows how serious they are. I half-assume this is a wee joke to help promote the other game they’re working on,GuildBound?
Walking Simulator is freeon Steam. What else do you have to do until June 2nd?
