Way To Go is an indie game/interactive film project from Caroline Robert, Édouard Lanctôt-Benoit and Arcade Fire collaborator, Vincent Morriset. You start out with a paper-thin friend, dropped in the middle of the woods somewhere with a small set of simple directions: press the W key to walk, the E key to run, SPACE to jump and the left mouse button to interact. The rest is pretty much up to you.

“Go on. Make your way. Stop to see the smallest things. No one’s waiting, no one’s keeping score.”

You travel through the woods, across streams and into fields all while following one continuous line. At any time you are able to stop and take a “closer look” at your environment with a click of the mouse button and trust me, it’s worth it. Here are some of the most beautiful moments I captured on my journey through Way To Go.

Shot with 360° video capture, Way To Go is a surreal mix of real-world photography and animation. These images and the tranquil background music transform with every step, jump and click as you progress through the picturesque woods. It's a truly calming experience, and by the end of it I was compelled to go outside and explore. 

So, check out Way To Go and if you spot anything particularly lovely grab a screenshot and upload it to the comments below.
