Play Overview
Ruth's Journey is a narrative-driven adventure about escaping a soul-crushing job to photograph an elusive golden finch. You explore Canada's forests in the 1960s, take photos of wildlife and chat with other characters. It's unique because it packages the introspective and challenging themes of finding yourself and purpose into a relaxing nature photography game.
You play as Ruth, an amateur photographer who wants to get out of her dead-end job to snap pictures of wildlife. Play involves exploring forests and national parks for creatures to photograph. Along the way, you meet people and select dialogue options that determine these conversations. The fun lies in tranquil exploration of the natural world instead of high-stakes intense action.
As you progress, you venture deeper into the forests and discover mysterious abandoned cabins. You hone your photography skills by playing with camera settings like aperture and shutter speed while slowly building up a portfolio of beautiful wildlife images.
This results in a game with plenty of room for real-life reflection. Ruth's Journey gently encourages you to think about your life's meaning and who you are through a love letter to wildlife photography.
