New gameplay for WILL: Follow The Light is here to see, along with the release of a demo for WILL: Follow The Light on PC
Many of us are waiting to see how WILL: Follow The Light is going to handle when it hits the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and have been for a while now. It may not be a title for everyone who sees it, but it is still something that TomorrowHead Studio is working to get out there. All with some fun news for those who might not think the game is going to be for them, as we have a demo out there on the PC to enjoy as of right now. So, you can see if the sailing and exploring in WILL: Follow The Light will be something you are going to want to spend a lot of time with, or maybe even skip altogether. Even if there is a deep story for us to try and figure out hidden in the midst of it all, the gameplay does need to draw us in to want to experience it all. So, let’s have that test.
Those who are not going to give the demo a shot, or missed out on it, there is a little more gameplay to entice you into playing the final version of WILL: Follow The Light when it lands later in the year. A little bit more gameplay of us sailing around, climbing, and exploring this world while experiencing the personal story our character is going to endure. We are playing as a lighthouse keeper in this one, who has their routine completely messed up by a message, and then their son goes missing. That will be the crux of WILL: Follow The Light, as we are going to need to set out and find our son while also figuring all of the other mysteries out that have been happening. Even if some of them feel as if they might be going on in our heads. Maybe that is just how I am seeing it. I guess I’ll have to go play the demo to fully find out now.
