Happy Monday everyone! So, I'm going to start this week by asking everyone to take a new week's resolution.
STOP using the description 'Walking Simulator'. From today.
USE 'Narrative Exploration game' instead.
Seriously. 'Walking Sim' is a 'gamer' term design to exclude.

'Walking Simulator' = something dull. It's a title that ignores the narrative, which pushes games to be the same as each other.
If you value narrative in games, let's consign this name to the past where it belongs.
'Narrative Exploration' celebrates what these games do.

Games must be open to all forms and all players. Storytellers should stop using the terms we are given and find ones that tell our story.
So, no more 'Walking sims', only 'Narrative Exploration games'.
