Overview
Walkerman is a narrative-driven visual novel that plunges players into the shoes of a young boy embarking on a dangerous career as a monster hunter. These aren't ordinary beasts; they are supernatural creatures bound by unique, exploitable rules. The core gameplay loop revolves around investigating these entities, understanding their specific weaknesses – such as an inability to cross salt or appear before mirrors – and then strategically using this knowledge to trap and defeat them. Each chapter focuses on a distinct creature, demanding careful observation and clever item utilization to succeed.
