In a lengthy interview, developers Stuart Gillespie-Cook, Jake Strasser, and Nico Disseldorp discuss design decisions, how collaboration with sound teams and friends shaped the game, and the emotional catharsis of its endings, all rooted in the joy of making games with friends.

Big Walk Gets Skipped: Speedrunners Fly and Clip Their Way to the Ending

Speedrunners are finishing House House's Big Walk with little or no walking by using glitches to bypass most of the game, including a fly-over technique in the Unrestricted run (8:37) and a clip-out-of-bounds method in the Flightless run (10:33). Runners are also exploring solo and two-player glitchless routes, with interest in how fast a traditional, non-glitched playthrough could be.

Bro-Ops, Not Slop: Redefining Cozy Co-Op Games

A GameSpot opinion piece argues that Big Walk, a calm, well-crafted co-op puzzler from House House, doesn’t deserve the “friendslop” label, which the author says is reductive and misleading. The piece praises its soothing visuals, approachable gameplay, and proximity-chat humor, and proposes renaming the genre to “bro-ops” (or another honest descriptor) to better reflect the game’s quality and vibe, warning that the current label risks pigeonholing innovative indie co-ops like Big Walk.

Big Walk hides a Predator-style stealth game, pending a voice patch

Rock Paper Shotgun argues that Big Walk isn’t a casual open-world hangout game but a stealth multiplayer where proximity voice chat (instead of built-in comms) governs play, turning players into unpredictable threats; developers are patching the proximity audio to fix volume issues, with players signaling via walkie-talkies, flareguns, or a whiteboard to communicate across distances.
