His wife, Rene, struggles with being a stay-at-home mum when what she really wants is a career – a balanced life. Everybody has their own stories, struggles, trials and tribulations, and Whit is the vessel we see this through. Where the Heart Leads puts these questions front and centre, not just for Whit, but the rest of the small cast, too. If I go tomorrow, will I be remembered? If I manage to hang on for another ten years, will I do anything that matters? Will my family be proud of me? Will my son remember me as a good man? What will be my legacy? It’s perhaps the most relatable game I’ve ever played.Īs I’ve gotten older, and as this pandemic has brought death to the door, it’s forced me to think a lot more about life and death.
That’s kind of the game’s central theme – choices, decisions and their consequences. They were mine we (Whit and I) had to live with them and go with the flow. I really liked being able to project a bit of myself onto Whit, even when the decisions I made weren’t all the great. Whit is a bit of a blank canvas and it’s up to us, the player, to make choices for him. I kind of knew what was coming very early on, as will many others, but it doesn’t take away from the story at all, and come the end, I guarantee that all who are human will get a bit of a shaky lip.Ī slow start with Whit and his older brother, Sege, lays the foundation for Whit’s life and the events you’ll lead him through.
Dazed, confused, and wanting to get back above, Whit explores the underground passage while reliving his childhood, his teenage years, adulthood, and even beyond. Average is as average does until there’s an accident and Whit falls through the massive sinkhole that has opened up on his property. Where the Heart Leads follows Whitney, a married man with two kids and a dog.
