Our take on Fariwalk: The Prelude
Its compact prologue format keeps the setting and story focused, but sacrifices the breadth and sustained progression expected from a full adventure game.
What is Fariwalk: The Prelude?
Fariwalk: The Prelude is a short prologue set in a deteriorating world where monsters and a small number of humans remain.
It follows a child seeking something important while trying to escape a mysterious threat. Players explore a yard at their own pace, complete varied quests, investigate side stories, and solve puzzles with a hint system. Dialogues offer different choices, though their eventual effect is uncertain. The game presents a disturbing atmosphere, a world that continues to function despite its devastation, and original artwork and music. Its story also includes a sense of being watched as the child moves through the environment.
