Walkman
A downloadable game
"In a world where walking is outlawed by the government, one man dares set foot in forbidden territory. But he soon discovers a power within himself that can not only bring back walking as a viable form of light exercise, but may be the only thing that can prevent the end of the world as they know it. Action, suspense, horror, love and romance, violence and even more violence! Starring Brick Hardbody as The Walkman."
Yeah, man. That would be a cool summary for a movie if they ever made one about this game, which I'm sure they will, because this game is sure to take the world by storm. This game, is Walkman, and in it, you play as the titular protagonist in his quest to do the one thing he's really good at: Walking!
But seeing as this is an alternate future Earth or something like that, walking has become more than just walking. Thanks to highly advanced smart phone technology, walking has become more than just exercise or a way to transport yourself to and fro. Now, you can make MONEY with it!
Sorta. It's a cryptocurrency known as Walk Points, which is the currency used by an entire online community. Not only can you exchange Walk Points for actual money* (after taxes), but you can use Walk Points to buy upgrades to your special smart phone, apps, and more that can be used to earn even MORE Walk Points! After all, as they say, to make money you have to spend money. Or in this case points and not money.
Click your way through a world of adventure (and misadventure), rack of lots of points, unlock everything, face incredible and sometimes off putting challenges and adversaries, and perhaps you too will become a legend in this free-to-play incremental game where you, yes, YOU, can walk and be a man!
