Walden, A Game

Walden, A Game is a first-person simulation of the life of American philosopher Henry David Thoreau during his experiment in self-reliant living at Walden Pond in 1845. Players must survive by building a cabin and finding food and fuel. At the same time, in the beauty of the woods and the Pond, players experience reflective play as they experience living in nature over the course of a New England year.
