The Old City: Leviathan is an experiment in first person exploration that focuses entirely on the story. 

PostMod states, “The Old City: Leviathan puts the player in the shoes of a sewer dwelling isolationist. You progress through the narrative by simply exploring the world. The story itself is told via the musings of your character and, chiefly, the environment itself. This environment has been designed to be diverse, interesting, and meaningful to the narrative of the game.”

The folks at PostMod Softworks noted that three games that inspired them when making The Old City include Dear Esther, The Stanley Parable and Gone Home. There are similarities to be had as The Old City contains no puzzles or combat, and very little interaction with the environment – rather the environment has been designed to be “diverse, interesting, and meaningful to the narrative of the game.”
