Where the Heart Leads is best described as a playable novel, especially since Armature boasts having a script that's 600,000 words in length or around " 5 novels" worth of story. There are significant highs and lows in both the story and the game design that, while frustrating at times, all lead to the same satisfying and bittersweet conclusion. One choice will reward you with a trophy, while the other one won’t.Developed by Armature Games, a team comprised of veterans behind games like Metroid Primeamong others, Where the Heart Leads puts players in the shoes of Whit Anderson as he looks back on the most important times of his life and wonders what he could have done differently. Without spoiling things too much, at the start of the game, you can decide to call Casey to your side after descending into the sinkhole to try and save her or find another way to save her. Due to how the game is structured and how some choices will cancel out others, you won’t get a chance to make every trophy pop during your first time with Where the Heart Leads.
WHERE THE HEART LEADS VIDEO GAME FULL
As a heads-up, I suggest that to enjoy Where the Heart Leads, you increase the text bubble size to the maximum setting.Īs for the trophies, Where the Heart Leads features a full trophy list with six Gold trophies, eight Silver trophies, and sixteen Bronze trophies, with a Platinum trophy waiting for you at the end of your journey, but you won’t be able to collect all trophies in a single run. The good news is that the team realized this as well after some feedback and included an option to increase the text bubble size so that you can find the right setting to experience this one. Something I noticed as I started to play Where the Heart Leads is that the text was extremely tiny and hard to see, even on a large TV. This means that Whit does not take the time to discuss what he’s going to do next instead of diving right into things. Whit is a bit more independent, while Rene likes to micromanage things. You can decide to go to save Casey on your own, and this will reveal to you some information on how Whit and his wife Rene handle things. Take, for example, an early choice in the game. You’ll also add new information as memories while making choices in the game.

As the team has reported, the game includes over 600,000 words, which they state is bigger than J.R.R. There are many choices to make for this journey, and you can go down a wide variety of paths as the story progresses. That’s a very different type of experience compared to Where the Heart Leads, since Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is a 2.5D with a focus on stealth and action. The sinkhole opened up in the middle of the Anderson’s farm because of the storm, Whit must do whatever it takes to recover Casey while exploring a surreal world where nothing is what it seems and where memories will help him discover a whole new side of his life.Īrmature previously worked on games such as Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, which I got to review on PlayStation Vita many years ago. After the family’s dog goes missing during a storm, Whit Anderson goes down a sinkhole to try and find it he ends up on a journey of self-discovery that mixes past, present, and future. Narrative-driven Where the Heart Leads from Armature is an adventure about family.
