Have yourself a nice long walk in this walking simulator Bottle: Pilgrim and remind yourself just how dangerous downing one bottle after another can be, and how just one momentary distraction can lead to the biggest tragedy of your life.
Is Bottle: Pilgrim worthy of me?
- Lovely piano music
- Good male voice actor
- Variety of environmental scenes
- Doesn’t evoke emotion like it could
Bottle: Pilgrim is meant to be a sequel to the game Bottle.
Its main mission is to evoke an emotion of sadness within you by the end of it, but it misses its mark by a long shot, I feel. Not that it won’t make you feel bad for what happened, because it will–or at least, it should, but it won’t do it in the way Tonguç Bodur perhaps wanted it to.
It’s not the kind of emotional response we might get if we were in the viewpoint of a mom who’d lost her child and stepped into her child’s room for the first time in months and began picking up their toys on the ground. From that point of view we’d get her thoughts on each toy, where she placed the toys, the staggering effects of depression, and everything else.
But where this game fails is the fact that it’s a walking simulator, perhaps.
It’s the fact you get to explore and look around, and so you kind of let it slip your mind what the main character’s talking about as you try to search for collectibles hidden in the environment.
You’re not limited to smaller environments where your thoughts and actions take precedence over everything else.
However, the last couple lines stated by the main character did elicit an emotional response from me, so it doesn’t completely fall short.
What I do enjoy the most about Bottle: Pilgrim is the soundtrack when it comes into play, because piano music, y’know? And not only that, but there are a variety of scenes you’re taken to as he remembers things and goes on his long walk that he takes every year since the death of his daughter.
