What do you think?

Cool game. Great voice acting. Super story even if I didn't quite get it at the end. Ran well apart from a few laggy bits making it jump a few times but all audio and sounds ran very well. Well done. Awesome title... :)

Really nice game, terrific story, great voice acting, good humor on top of a good horror game. Very enjoyable. The park is also beautiful. I would recommend fixing the audio in a specific area that will not be named due to spoilers. Great work on the game!

A few of the nice fings wot people have said:-

"You nailed the slow build-up of tension really well. I mean, something always felt weird in the back of my head as I was playing through this, but the twist still caught me off guard! "

"Really loved this game! Such a gem with a wonderful story and fantastic voice acting. Glad I came across it!"

"Welcome to A Walk in the Park, which as is no surprise from the name, a walking simulator! But this is one of the best walking simulators I have ever played."

"It was a really great experience!"

"Really nice game, terrific story, great voice acting, good humor on top of a good horror game. Very enjoyable. The park is also beautiful."

"...the voice acting is very well done, really drawing you into the story and helping you learn more about the personalities of the characters."

"There’s a lot more going on beneath the surface of A Walk in The Park than first meets the eye."

"Wow. Just... wow. At first I thought we were just going on a nice ramble while our friend bored us with jokes, but that uneasiness kept on creeping up the further into the countryside we got. And what a pay off at the end, excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this, it was a great experience! Keep up the amazing work =)"

Something terrible happened. Now you're not sure...not sure about anything. Your friend invites you on a hike. Fresh air, trees, hills, river, it might be just what you need, it might help. You doubt it, but...it might.

You arrive at the park. Spring rain seems to put a damper on the day before it starts. You sit in your classic rust bucket rain pattering the bodywork. The park isn't even open for visitors yet. Then your friend calls your mobile. He can't make it, oh great. You're on your own but he'll guide you, it'll be fine. Things are just getting better and better. Well at least the rain has stopped...

"A Walk In The Park" is a short, first person, story-based experience often referred to as a walking simulator (that's a terrible name for a genre BTW). There's nice scenery, original music and the sun's shining. All is right with the world, how lovely. So why do you start to feel a little uneasy? What's really going on?

You should finish the game in one sitting. It really shouldn't take you more than 1hr.

V1.32 released. Main update here is the sound. I added some sliders to control the music volume and environment SFX volume (bird song, wind etc). I also cleared up some of the sound files and reduced the volume of the waterfall sound effect. It sounds much cleaner now and the levels don't jump all over the place. I fixed a couple of areas where people got physically stuck too. Plus a bunch of other minor tweaks far too boring to.....ZZZZZzzzzz (snore).

Sad news

A Walk In The Park was in the running for the SXSW Gamer’s Voice Award and I’m sorry to say it didn’t get nominated. What a grave miscarriage of justice ;-)
But never mind, BAFTAs are coming soon….I mean…you never know….right?

Kind words from Ca,scam

Just got some very nice comments and LetsPlay video from Camscam. He almost sussed it!

Next Big Thing

Work on my next game is plodding on. Basic world is built. Story is coming together with maybe 30% written AND recorded. Here’s a piccy of the pub the Queens Legs.
