What you need to be happy, and what you really don't, and how that dictates your inner dialogue. Catalysts and breaking points, failures and pick-me-ups, career changes and start-overs. As the credits rolled, I sat thinking about parallels with my own life, and the shifts in direction I've made along the way. I also didn't perceive the game as using mental health as an 'enemy', something to fight against, a negative flipside to a sunny disposition and affirmative outlook. Which isn't to say those other 'takes' are wrong at all - I just didn't read the story in the same way that they did. While some PC-release coverage of this game, back in June 2021, spoke of a romance unrealised between the pair, and criticised never physically showing the characters, my takeaway from Trufflepigs is very different - and, I think, mine is the takeaway its makers were aiming for.

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.

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.
