Instead, it’s about “calm exploration, discovery, and quietly forged companionships,” to list a few things. This isn’t a game focused on epic combat and grinding for gear. And it also dives into the lessons I learned from the wonderful people of Africa, the world’s perception of Africa, and how that compares to the reality on the ground.īeyond just the book, there are plenty of other rewards on offer through Kickstarter including stickers, patches, my Africa photography book, The Road Chose Me Volume 1, and a limited edition canvas print of my favourite photo from the expedition.But the focus on unstructured sandbox gameplay isn’t what really sets Book of Travels apart - games like Legends of Aria do that well already with a standard MMO formula wrapped around those ideas - but rather it’s how different the actual game itself plays.
