What players say

Players describe Tombeaux as an educational walking simulator and interactive documentary about a Midwestern river and human impact on it. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes, with no puzzles. Some praise the historical research and environmental cause, while others say the perspective feels one-sided or preachy. A few report technical problems like low frame rates.
