You’ll also get and find documents, be it letters or diary entries or posters, so you get more insight on Whit or those around him. Throughout each chapter, it’ll be set in a location where you’ll be running around in as you talk with others and get things to do, which you can pretty much do it in any order as long as you complete everything. With each of them having sub-chapters to break up significant times during those chapters of his life. You play as Whit throughout his years when he’s a teenager still on his family’s farm, his adult years where he married Rene and have kids (duh), and finally in his older years. Where The Heart Leads takes an interesting and unique approach that I haven’t heard about another game taking, both in the choices and how it handled flashing backwards despite knowing an aspect that happens in their future. While I’m still a bit confused, I did notice the little winks to it as the end drew nearer and remember the little foreshadowing at the beginning. I was actually quite surprised there wasn’t more on spending time in the sinkhole, but what was probably happening to Whit did dawn on me maybe halfway through the chapter Priorities and then definitely thought so later on. Seemingly unscathed, Whit tries to find a way out but soon loses himself in his past memories. However, while the dog makes it, you suddenly plummet to damn near the center of the Earth based on how long the fall was. So to save her, you decide to have you lowered in a bathtub. Luckily your wife nor your kids have fallen in, but your dog somehow has.

And the edges seem to be still crumbling.

You play as Whit and as you run to where your family went to, the camera pans to real a huge sinkhole has formed in the middle of the property. We soon learn that the dog is named Casey and her owners are a married couple named Rene and Whit, who also has two kids Kate and Alex. As loud thunder roars across the land and a nearby tree breaks and falls, everyone in the nice family home wakes up and a dog manages to push past someone that was just checking outside. Well, more like it seems like a sever thunderstorm was making it’s way to a farm. Where The Heart Leads starts on a dark and stormy night set on a farm.
