How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Bill's Town, the booby-trapped small town west of Boston where Joel calls in an old favour.

The real place

The game puts Lincoln in an Amherst County that does not exist, but the real Lincoln is a small town about 25 km north-west of Boston, most likely the one the game means. The real town is quiet and rural, with farms, conservation land and the Gropius House, the home Walter Gropius built for himself in 1938.

Visiting

Walden Pond is just over the town line in Concord. Codman Community Farms and the trails around Sandy Pond are good for a walk, and the commuter rail stops at Lincoln station.
