It's a pastoral paradise where the only pressure on you, on Adam, is to remember where you left your detector should you set it down and wander off while using the walkie-talkie. For between 90 minutes and two hours, you'll be transported to a part of Britain tucked away from motorways and mass transit hubs, coffee shop chains and reliable wi-fi. And it's lovely, it really is, to slip on headphones and immerse yourself into the beeps and blips, the scrunch of the trowel in the dirt, the twittering birds and the gentle sway of the grass. It is the very definition of a walking simulator, because that is pretty much all you do. The Magnificent Trufflepigs asks little of you except: move around this beautiful place and point your metal detector at things sometimes send photos of your discoveries (or snap the local landmarks) and swap some text messages and very occasionally choose between a couple of conversational options that have no bearing (so far as I can tell, anyway) on the pre-credits conclusion to the story.
