Big Walk is the cooperative online walker-talker from House House and Panic, the team behind Untitled Goose Game. The entire pitch is low-stakes: hang out and get lost with close friends in a big world. Very few games are built around walking and chatting as the main activity, but there is a short list of titles that players consistently reach for when they want the same feeling.

• Untitled Goose Game
  • House House's previous title. It is more prank than pathfinding, but its
  co-op mode has the same silly, improv-driven energy with a friend.
• It Takes Two
  • a
  co-op-only adventure that demands constant back-and-forth between two players. It is much more scripted and puzzle-heavy than Big Walk, but it is one of the strongest "call your friend first" games around.
• A Way Out
  • a strictly two-player experience with a dramatic story. It plays very differently, but it is another full-length game built around one partner.
• A Short Hike
  • single-player, so not a
  co-op replacement, but the relaxed map exploration and small-character charm match Big Walk's tone closely.
• WEBFISHING
  • a low-pressure online hangout where the real content is chatting during a simple shared activity. This is probably the closest "keep talking while doing almost nothing" experience.

Big Walk launches Aug 4, 2026 at $14.99 with 12 Steam achievements, full controller support, and save-anytime flexibility. If you are waiting for release day, those five games cover most of the same moods.

Why players compare them

Hang out and get lost with close friends in a big world.

That tagline explains most of the comparisons. Players group Big Walk with other games based on a few shared design choices:

• Traversal is the reward. Big Walk's achievement list includes riding the chairlift, riding the train, reaching the highest point, and going beyond the wall. That matches games where simply moving through the world is the fun part.
• No timed pressure. Big Walk is playable without timed input and has adjustable difficulty, so it gets compared to relaxed indie titles instead of action co-op games.
• Accessibility options matter. Camera comfort and color alternatives are still rare in multiplayer games. When a game supports them, players actively search for other multiplayer games that do the same.
• Small-team pedigree. House House and Panic make compact, characterful games, so most recommendations come from the same indie space rather than large co-op shooters.

What to try next

Big Walk is not early access, so the release date is a fixed target instead of a moving one. Pick your next purchase based on the part of Big Walk you liked most:

• Liked hanging out and talking? Try WEBFISHING or another chat-driven online game. The shared activity matters less than the conversation.
• Liked House House's humor? Play Untitled Goose Game, ideally in co-op, to see the same studio's mischief at full strength.
• Liked the structured two-player adventure? It Takes Two and A Way Out are the most direct stepping stones, even though they add more puzzles and story.
• Liked the calm climbing and exploring? A Short Hike gives you the same "get lost in a small world" feeling without needing a partner.

One practical habit before any co-op purchase: compare minimum requirements with your group. Big Walk asks for Windows 10, a 64-bit system, a Core i7-7700K or Ryzen 5 1600X, 12 GB RAM, and a GTX 750 Ti-class GPU. Most of the lighter indie recommendations run on weaker machines, but a 30-second spec check avoids a wasted co-op night.
