Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of Days Gone...

Also 100% didn't realize this was a real place until right now.

I'm playing it right now, actually. On my way to check up on Boozer at the farm.

I remember seeing part of an interview with the devs, where they said they wanted to incorporate real places into the game, so after the first time I finished it, I started looking up the real-world places.

I think the part that surprised me the most were the towns. IIRC, Sherman Camp is a Boy Scout campsite, and Marion Forks is just a hotel with a restaurant and a gas station. Usually, games make towns and cities smaller, not bigger.

I live about 15 minutes down the road from Camp Sherman.

I would love if you could describe it, or even post some pictures, if you have any. The Google Earth imagery is pretty low resolution there, and frankly, Days Gone is one of my favorite games ever.
