What is The Way of Life: DEFINITIVE EDITION?
This single-player, first-person walking simulator explores personal growth through the viewpoints of a child, an adult, and an old man. You play separate levels about subjects such as love, war, and discrimination, with different mechanics and decisions that affect the ending. Movement and visuals vary by character: the child can run and jump, while the old man moves slowly with a shaking camera.
