I’m choosing to write about
Where the Heart Leads, which is a narrative based game for one reason. Reading about the game made me think of Roy: A Life Well Lived. If you are unfamiliar with that game it’s probably because it’s not a real game, rather a skit from the show Rick and Morty, about a video game. In the skit Morty plays through an entire life as, well, Roy. (It’s worth a youtube search, even if you’re not a Rick and Morty fan.) Where the Heart Leads doesn’t look or feel like the skit, but it was still fun to draw the parallels when I first read about developer Armature Studio s new game.
Armature Studio has been around the bend helping with a lot of games through the years. They’ve aided the likes of Warner Bros. with Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, Comcept with ReCore, and even up to and including Epic Games with support Fortnite. However, their latest effort is a solo venture, and a splendidly surreal one at that. Where the Heart Leads is a walk through time, focused on a simple rural family and the choices they’ve made along the way. It’s quite a bit slower paced than other Armature Games, but it has an extensive and interesting family narrative aided by the power of beautiful watercolor-like visuals, emotional swing, and the resounding echo of the choices you make.
