What the game is about
Big Walk is built around one idea: walking together is the game. There is no combat, no classes and no enemy AI. Instead:
- Explore a huge hand-crafted island with towers, valleys, a giant wall and hidden areas.
- Communicate with proximity voice chat and text — sound travels through the world like a physical signal.
- Coordinate with tools: walkie-talkies, megaphones, flares, signal flags and more.
- Solve environmental puzzles authored around a four-player baseline.
