Wanderlust: Transsiberian

Cool

This is a fun choose your own adventure style travel game where you roleplay as a presumably middle aged man traveling by train through Russia. He is traveling with his brother in law while both are recovering from the death of the protaganists wife. While I'd still prefer that WalkAbout would let me create my own traveler I will say the ones they create are usually interesting. One can experience the world through the characters perspective and experiential lens while seeing sights from another part of the world. Not really familiar with Russia, but the descriptions provided were interesting and gave the impression that on some level the creators of this game were in some way. Overall I'd say the psychological experience the protaganist goes through surpasses the actual physical travel experience, though the two are complimentary especially with the effective yet fairly simple game engine and character stats provided. I really like that the character will respond and feel differently about things depending on their current emotional perspective. While my travel story was kind of bitter sweet I definitely enjoyed the game and look forward to this groups next project.
