Big Walk is a new co-op puzzle game classic

Big Walk is a collaborative puzzle-adventure game designed for up to 12 players, best enjoyed with smaller groups of three or four. It features built-in proximity chat that encourages in-game communication, adding complexity to problem-solving. Players must navigate puzzles while adhering to communication restrictions, often leading to creative non-verbal solutions. One puzzle involves players matching sounds from booths to speakers while relying on visual cues and limited communication. The game is available on Steam and is recommended for dedicated groups, as a full playthrough may take around 12 hours without achieving 100% completion.

Dishonored co-creator Harvey Smith launches a new studio and it literally has the word ‘Immersive’ in the name

Harvey Smith, former studio director at Arkane Austin, has founded a new studio called Black Pony Immersive with executive producer Ben Horne. The studio aims to create imaginative first-person action RPGs with a focus on emergent game systems. The development team includes talent from companies like Arkane, Insomniac, Epic, Avalanche, and Volition. Black Pony Immersive's mission reflects a commitment to immersive storytelling and gameplay, inspired by the legacy of Looking Glass Studios. The closure of Arkane Austin in 2024 followed the poor performance of Redfall, but there is hope that some creative ideas from that period may be revived at Black Pony. Specific details about their first project are not yet disclosed, but hints are available on their website.

Big Walk: So, what’s the deal with that number puzzle?

Players in Big Walk can find a prize called a nubbin inside a frosted glass container near the beach, marked by two four-digit numbers. The numbers 4166 and 1899 are coordinates (latitude and longitude) that lead to the button's location on the island. To solve the puzzle, players need to first place five nubbins atop the red tower to access a map room. The map indicates that the button is located east and south of the starter hub, with specific measurements derived from the numbers. A small button is hidden behind a rock, and one player must hold it down while another retrieves the nubbin. Players can also use a GPS device to assist in locating the button.
