The Longest Walk

The Longest Walk is a biographical walking simulator about a man's experience of living with depression and suicidal thoughts. You follow an approximately 9-and-a-half-minute playable account built from audio recorded during a 54-minute interview with the man, who is the creator's father.

His recollections describe personal experiences and locations, while sharing thoughts, feelings and a message intended to speak more broadly to people living with depression. The game aims to reduce feelings of isolation, encourage people who are struggling or experiencing suicidal thoughts to reach out for help, raise awareness of depression and prompt discussion about the stigma around opening up about mental health.
