Before December 2022 the hospice’s only annual event for bereaved relatives was ‘Light up a Life’ which included Christmas-themed elements including a carol service in a nearby church.

Open Roads ReviewNarrative adventures – often dunked on as walking simulators – account for a significant portion of the games released by smaller teams.

Though they may lack mechanics, a well constructed walking sim often finds its way onto my yearly list favorite games. Open Roads is the latest entry into the genre: can it hang with time tested standouts like Firewatch and Kentucky Route Zero?
