Big Walk Discounted 20 Percent In Steam Autumn Sale

The discount is shallower than the one at launch, so for a co-op game whose pitch rests on voice-chat behavior, the sale price matters less than whether the friend group it needs is willing to commit.

Big Walk Discounted 20 Percent In Steam Autumn Sale

House House's co-op adventure Big Walk is 1,840 yen in the Steam Autumn Sale, down 20 percent from its 2,300 yen regular price. The sale runs until October 8. The game supports two to twelve players on an open-world island, with walkie-talkies, binoculars and laser pointers as tools. Proximity voice chat carries nearby voices clearly and fades them with distance or through walls.

The Steam Autumn Sale cut Big Walk to 1,840 yen from 2,300 yen, a 20 percent discount that runs through October 8. The price is the one concrete change. The design argument behind the game is not: proximity voice chat makes distance audible, so a friend's voice thins out, muffles through walls, and eventually disappears, and the group has to move and meet again to restore it. The game holds two to twelve players on an island of puzzles and contraptions. Outside voice tools are available if a group prefers them. The design goes the other way, and the walk is meant to be finished with the same people.
