More poem than game, Walk or Die was a study in the most minimalistic interaction I could think of, and I like to think it was a walking simulator that was slightly ahead of the curve. :) Made in 2010 for the TIGSource "A Game By Its Cover" competition; you can see the cart that inspired it here.
In 2014 Walk or Die was exhibited in a Madrid art exhibition curated by Andrés Oliva and Daniel Alonso.
