Games have a habit of placing the player at their centre. Their worlds and the characters in them revolve around you: you’re the chosen one, the only individual capable of saving the day. You might have extraordinary abilities, and be a figure of legend – or at least one in the making. That isn’t necessarily a barrier to telling a great story, and it’s part and parcel of the power fantasy that many games seek to offer. Nevertheless, it does mean that when something comes along that subverts that typical relationship it captures my attention.
Storyseeker is a short, free exploration game where dev Miles Aijala describes your role as “more of a historian than a hero”. I’ve just spent half an hour pottering around its surreal world of ghosts, giants and weasels, and I reckon you should do the same.
