tonight's Big Walk excursion brought us to a beach at sunrise, and i couldnt resist snapping a pic.* i can't recommend the game enough; it's got fun puzzles and every session we discover absolutely unnecessary details that add to the immersion is really fun ways. *taking a screenshot 😉

a screenshot of a sunrise over the ocean in the game Big Walk. five vaguely ant-shaped humanoid friends are on the beach, carrying implements of chaos such as megaphones and flare guns, plus other tools needed in the game.

Early Pink Floyd: Cats are all right Hear their paws upon your floors They have no thumbs & lick their bums Hear them cry when facing closed doors. Late Pink Floyd: Despite the pomp & the pageantry Of his right Royal Majesty He still took my daddy from me Ashes. Insanity. Blah-blah, all tragedy.
