Edengate looks like a psychological survival horror game at first, but it's a walking simulator where you interact with items. You play as Mia Lorenson, a young woman who wakes up in a hospital with amnesia and discovers she is alone and isolated in the world. Story was a mixed bag, it didn't make a whole lot of sense and I couldn't fully understand what was going on. Throughout the game, Mia interacts with glowing items (memories, which show well-voiced cutscenes with slowly moving concept art), and randomly starts remembering how and what happened? I was left with more questions than answers when the game ended.

No combat is present. Progression is very linear and straightforward on a set path. Some areas may be a small bit more open than others, but arrows and some signs will guide the way and tell you where to go. Puzzles that mostly involve codes to unlock doors, moving an item in the right spot, and hitting switches in the correct order, are easy. Clues lying around will give the answer to these. Graphically, Edengate is decent. It doesn't look very 2022-ish in terms of visuals and looks more like a 2015-dated indie game. The world and environments look very similar to Resident Evil 3 Remake, though some areas such as the school and street seem to reuse the same layouts and design aspects.

Edengate is not a bad game at all, but can be classified as "Baby's First Walking Simulator." For the $7 price and the 1-2 and a half hour time it takes to play through the game, Edengate does offer somewhat of a fun experience. If you played other narrative adventure/walking sims before, this one may not do much to captivate you. Otherwise, it's worth a new experience.
