Wide Ocean Big Jacket

A short and simple game about a camping trip, buts packs a punch with its real & intimate conversations, cozy vibes, and zany humor. There is also a small side story told from the parker ranger's perspective that is also just as good!

Wide Ocean Big Jacket feels like being invited into a small fragment of someone’s life. Just like Ben says, it feels like “a tiny little life.” It made me laugh, it made me feel tender, and it made me care about its characters in such a short time. Turnfollow always finds something special in moments like this, and this game left me with a really warm feeling. Very Wes Anderson in the best way.
Wide Ocean Big Jacket se siente como ser invitado a un pequeño fragmento de la vida de alguien. Como dice Ben, se siente como “una pequeña vida”. Me hizo reír, me dio ternura y me hizo conectar con sus personajes en muy poco tiempo. Turnfollow siempre encuentra algo especial en momentos así, y este juego me dejó una sensación muy linda. Muy Wes Anderson, en el mejor sentido.

We are in chilly, sad times and this was such a comforting little escape. The dialogue is a little Tumblry but then so am I. Built up in its warmth and honesty until it felt like one of the gentler Duplass Bros. productions. Made me want to experience camping with a partner at 13 in uhhh a parallel universe where circumstances were completely different. Absolutely loved it.

A short narrative experience. You control the camera and move between scenes as a group of four (two kids and two adults) goes on a camping trip together, and has genuine conversations with each other about the future, blooming love, rocky conflicts, and the best way to make hot dogs.

It's a very simple game and experience, there isn't a ton of choices to be made, so it's a bit like watching a movie in miniature, but for what it was I enjoyed it, and I thought the characters were interesting.

If you're interested in a short and sweet, but genuine, game, it might be worth checking out.

Really enjoyed this short narrative game about a family going on camping. The characters and dialogues are well written and funny.

Works perfectly on SteamDeck. Coming-of-age narrative, light hearted, neat graphics.

Beauty in simplicity. Very good use of videogames' own interactive narrative tools
