The Midnight Walk

El juego es precioso, una obra visual y narrativa, recomendadísimo

진흙으로 빚고 도색한 독특한 오브제들과 상상력 넘치는 세계관에 잔잔하면서도 감동적인 음악들을 들으며 북유럽 감성의 스토리텔링을 감상하는 게임. 어릴 적 느꼈던 어둠과 옷장 속 공간에 대해 가졌던 기발한 시각화. 정감 넘치는 아트워크를 감상하는 것만으로도 구매할 가치가 있습니다.

As someone who is just now trying to dabble into horror games in her 30s, this was a perfect introductory. I also thoroughly enjoyed the claymation, characters, stories, puzzles, etc. It was absolutely pleasant (besides the scary bits) all the way through and the scary bits were not enough to dissuade me from venturing forth.

More like Slow Travel Games amirite? This probably could have been done better in another medium, or if it had been a walking simulator. The problem is the story gets interupted by mini-stealth and puzzle sections that really don't add anything but annoyance. Walk forward, fall off a small ledge so you cannot turn back, explore a small area and repeat. That is, when the path isn't completely linear. It's also beautiful so why is it so hard to see? So often I would pan around just trying to get my bearings because 270 degrees of my vision was blacked out. Maybe its better in VR. So, either add an actual gameplay loop for your cool clay world, or turn it into a melancholic walking simulator without danger and just interesting people to meet and interact with. There are books like Vermis and Godhusk by Plastiboo that are guides for video games that don't exist. That would be a better medium for this story. A series of short films would probably be better. As is, it's boring and annoying with glimpses of great art and ideas. It's a failed experiment but it has merit. The surface is good but the foundation as a game isn't there. It needs more than just telling your potboy to move when the wind dies down, and then waiting at the next shelter. It's not scary when a monster kills you since you can see the coffin you will respawn from is right there. At one point I was looking down on 2 grinners on patrol routes around a dilapidated town and I imagined I was playing Dishonored, dropping down and killing a grinner silently and hurrying to drag its corpse out of sight. Then teleporting onto another vantage. There would be houses to enter and interesting lore and tools, and maybe other enemies or NPCs to interact with.

Хорошая бродилка с простенькими головоломками, небольшими хоррор элементами и удивительной атмосферой. Гймплейно довольно скудно, хоть и есть интересная механика со звуком, но как-будто могли бы раскрыть её чуть лучше. Играть можно и на VR, волшебно смотрится в шлеме. но даже без этого она оставляет после себя интересное послевкусие. Рекомендую, по скидке так вообще мастхев
