A Walk Along The Pier
A downloadable game for Windows
**PLEASE NOTE - IF YOU ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE BOAT NOT BEING AT THE END OF THE PIER, PLEASE QUIT & RE-LAUNCH THE GAME. THE LATEST UNREAL ENGINE VERSION HAS A WEIRD BUG THAT EPIC ARE TRYING TO FIX**
After a long day fishing, you decide to call it a day. But as you are wrapping up and getting ready to leave, you notice something odd. Shrugging it off, you decide to walk along the pier back to your boat, taking in the scenery as you go.
Do you look through the telescopes and observe the beauty that nature holds? Or do you mind your own business and ignore what's happening around you?
The choice is yours...
WASD - Walk
W - Hold down when in boat to move.
MOUSE - Move/Look through telescopes
SHIFT - Sprint
E - Interact
F - Flashlight
P - Pause
A Walk Along The Pier is a short narrative-driven story, with an emphasis on environmental storytelling.
The idea started on a Sunday and was completed within 3 days. I am trying to work on smaller projects that challenge me in new ways, be it coding, modeling, effects, or just general stories that I want to develop.
I hope you enjoy the game and story I have created.

I am always looking for support on projects, be it financially, video playthroughs, or just a friendly follow on Twitter. With the everyday challenges now facing us, it is becoming harder and harder to make games for free and even support this as a full-time career.

It was fun except for the bug....kinda broke the immersion a little but otherwise a fun wee adventure
thanks for playing mate. Sorry about the boat bug. Not quite sure what caused it tbh, as it is quite random.
For a game made in 3 days, this was pretty impressive. The artstyle & music were really nice & the atmosphere was pretty creepy tbh. I was definitely expecting something to pop up while looking through those telescopes 😅
I'd be happy to see this concept evolve into a fully fledged game if you ever have the time. Keep up the good work & I look forward to playing more of your games in the future.

Thank you so much for checking this out. I really appreciate it. Left you a sub!
I had A Blast playing the game :) You did amazing job.
Thanks so much!
Nice game, enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for playing!
Oh, this had such a strange but interesting atmosphere, a bit like an old-school Hitchcock thriller but with the addition with a pier owned by Cthulhu. The boat didn’t load for me the first time around but since it’s such a short game, it was no issue to play again and there it was in all its beauty.
Thanks so much for playing! Do you mind me asking when did you initially download the game? Was it today or a while ago?
It was at least a week ago.
you may have the older build.
That's okay though.
Thanks again for playing!

I <3 the ocean and always have ;lived [and am living] close to one. The Pacific this time. So, playing this game came quite naturally. However, I think I ran into a bug or hiccup of sorts, as I got stuck on my way to [what I believe to be] the main land or the other side.
As I only play a game once, please let me know if this is so.
I never expected to be shot at though :o]
Thanks for making this game. I downloaded your new one 'Rabbit Secrets' and will play/record/upload that one, one of these days.
Kudos for making this game [or all involved], have a great day and happy making new games!
thanks very much for playing!
The boat doing a dejavu was really cool
Lol
Gripping experience with a sudden twist - Bravo Sir!
Wow. I had so much to say about the game, but in the end I was more focused about what you wrote in the description concerning indie game development and support. It feels like a lot and I can relate at some level. I believe you have all the resources and talent to make any project shine brighter and have more depth. That's the most important part and as far as I can play or make videos about games, I will always include and promote your craft.
Now, the game - what a fun ride. I felt really immersed in the game with the movement and atmosphere. The ending felt so sudden, although I was curious about the ship and broken debris, which was glowing green - super intrigued by that. Won't spoil too much, but the audio was perfect once you get into the boat - I literally felt chills and kept looking around.
In conclusion - top notch game. Can't wait to see more from you Aaron. I watched MrKravin play "Consume" and was amazed by that game too. Hope you can always bring the same intensity and charm into all of your games. Best of luck mate. Cheers!
Thanks so much Niven. I always appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much for playing & hopefully I will be sending more smaller games out soon. I am obviously working on a few projects at the moment & obviously managing BV with Espy, so that is taking up a lot of time.
But I will try to make some smaller games like this in the future.
A Walk Along the Pier is an interesting one, atmosphere and your own choices observing the environment plays a big part, it has surprising moments too, very unique game, well done Aaron 🤘
Thanks Vidas!
Thanks no u!
