It is told as a memory.
Benjen sits alone in a tent after it is over and tells it back, starting where it broke. When you die, that is the memory slipping, and he tells that stretch again.

What it is
An action RPG, played slowly.
You are the Commander of a rebellion that is ending. The road runs from a lost battle, over a mountain, to the walls of Ospis, and the people walking it with you are not all going to arrive.

How it plays
Fight, rest, hear the names.
Every loss is named.
At each fire where you rest, the names of the dead are read back to you. Twelve escorts walk the road beside you for a long while, and you will know every one of their names.
Slow, readable, fair.
Long wind-ups you can learn. Recoveries you can punish. Stamina on every swing and every roll, and no deaths you could not have seen coming. The bosses are fought for real.
From the game
Ospis, and the road to it.
