Show of the Week: Gone Home Console Edition and 5 Other Walking Simulators We Want on Xbox One

Gone Home: Console Edition is out now in the US and at some unspecified point in the future in Europe. Show of the Week has Gone Home in its sights, along with other "walking simulators" we want to play on Xbox One. Gone Home Xbox One gameplay within. Subscribe!
The term "walking simulator” was initially used to deride this kind of slow-paced storytelling, but it's equally just a descriptive label to stick on a bunch of somewhat similar games that isn't "first-person environmental experience with possible mild puzzles", because that's rubbish.
This is a genre that brings us the surreal comedy of Jazzpunk, the soothing dynamic worlds of Proteus, and the metatextual jokes about player agency of The Stanley Parable, so we're keen to see it represented on consoles. And how else are we going to manage the 10,000 steps a day recommended for healthy living?
