This game is mesmerizing, there's no other way to say it. I had to download this for a class and I was very skeptical about it. But then I tried it for the first time, and it was one of the most beautiful experiences that you can obtain thought this form of story telling. To people who want to explore stories through someone else life, this app... This is it. This is the way you achieve it. Just try it, let yourself get transported into this other world. You won't regret it.

A very personal, engaging story. I loved the way walking was woven into/throughout the story, past and present, as well as into the format/app itself. While we cannot always know exactly what someone else has gone through or put ourselves in their shoes, we can at least listen as we walk alongside them. For anyone looking to start off the new year on the right foot (haha), take this story with you and - as the narrator recommends - go for a walk.
