Less a walking simulator and more of a hiking simulator, Firewatch captured hearts when it took gamers for an adventurous, lonely summer in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest. From unravelling thrilling mysteries to building a complicated relationship over walkie-talkie, Firewatch is a unique adventure game with few analogs. Firewatch developer Campo Santo announced a second game, In The Valley Of The Gods, at The Game Awards in 2017, but it has since fallen into development difficulties after the studio was acquired by Valve.

Baby Steps sees players controlling Nate, who suddenly realizes that he has the power to walk. This leads to the unemployed character attempting to "find meaning in a wasted life," per the game's website. In addition, Devolver Digital notes on Steam that now Baby Steps players can help Nate ascend a mountain while they are actually on a mountain, too.
