Our take on Walter Walnut
The focus on gliding, collecting, and light encounters keeps the adventure compact, but leaves less room for complex combat, demanding bosses, or a large world with extensive progression.
What is Walter Walnut?
Walter Walnut is a small 3D adventure starring a squirrel who glides between islands while searching for a mythical golden hazelnut or peanut.
Its semi-open world lets players choose routes through the islands. Exploration is paired with light combat: Walter can slap birds with his tail, defeat weasels, and face small bosses. Crates and barrels can be broken to collect nuts and coins. Coins can be used to unlock new outfits. The islands also contain inhabitants who may assist Walter during the journey. The game combines gliding, route selection, collecting, island exploration, enemy encounters, and outfit unlocks in a casual adventure.
