About
Embark upon The Midnight Walk in this reverent dark fantasy adventure built in clay, from the minds behind Lost in Random and Fe.
Become The Burnt One, befriend a lost lantern creature named Potboy, and use his flame to light your way through a conflicting world of wonder and suspense. Survive and outsmart the many monsters eager to devour your little friend’s flame as you experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters.
Marvel at every disturbing detail in a landscape painstakingly handcrafted with real life clay and animated in a stop motion style. Fully playable in both flatscreen and with a VR headset.
Journey with Potboy along the twisted trail of The Midnight Walk. Work with your companion to outsmart monsters, using his flame to distract while you hide from and evade the many threats of The Dark Itself. Encounter new friends and experience awe-inspiring sights as you navigate a path fraught with both peril and affirmation.
Everything you see in The Midnight Walk, from the drooling snarl of monsters to the bristling tree tops that line the journey was first sculpted in clay and then 3D scanned to a meticulous level of detail. The result is a uniquely layered fantasy world with an artistic imprint, all realized in breathtaking stop motion. Grab a gamepad and jump into the unknown, or step into the endless night in VR.

Dripping with Burton-esk imagery, The Midnight Walk is a gorgeous walking sim with limited puzzles that has swelling music and fascinating lore ideas. It's a shame it doesn't extend much beyond that, but you get what you pay for here. 7.5/10
I really wish I could give it a sideways thumb... Visually it was one of the most beautiful and artfully done games I've ever played. On more than one occasion I found myself stopping to just look around and take in the details around me. Where the game fell off a little for me was the story and actual gameplay. There really isn't much to it and I struggled a bit to keep track of what the story was trying to tell or guide me. There is a reason you have a little sprite or light beam leading you around most of the game, without it you'd be lost... Most of the game is very repetitive. You run around hiding from various monsters and use your senses to find hidden objects. You use your fire and fire buddy to light candles\objects to move along through "puzzles". It only really has one puzzle, pulling levers to match a shape. It's more of a linear stop motion movie you're directing. Again, very-very cool game visually, but overall it felt a little empty to me. I'm happy I played it through but can see how some would not like this game at all. Visuals 10\10 Gameplay 5\10
Boring af
Beautiful in every way
Wow Thank you Klaus, Olov and the team. what an amazing game. well worth the money!
beautiful game, loved the story, characters, and the art style
This game was visually breathtaking. A real treat for people who love and appreciate claymation. I played on medium visual settings to accommodate for Steam Deck and still really enjoyed the scenery and ambiance. The saxophone and clarinet heavy soundtrack was melodic and really set the stage for the journey. I am the type of person who loves horror, but can hardly stand to play scary games by myself. This game gave me the perfect level of anxiety while not being [i] too scary [/i]. Most people probably don't think it's that scary but this review is for other Weenie Hut Jr's like myself. This game has a lot of heart and an uplifting message! I enjoyed it more than Lost in Random in terms of the story and look forward to future projects from this team.
Ceux qui veulent jouer en VR sur Steam, on va se faire f, c'est ça ? 30 balles sans soldes (enfin même 15 avec soldes), pour un jeu qui se finit en environ 4h/5h, qui semble avoir été fini à la pisse et dont les devs n'ont plus rien à faire, ça fait quand même bien mal au cul !
This game is an absolute must grab, if it goes on sale. It's a relatively short game that tells a surprisingly wholesome story. One of the better walking simulators I've played with an astounding art design. This game really is like a Tim Burton video game but with even more heart and soul.
Masterpiece of a game. Art Style: 11/10. Music/Soundtrack: 10/10. Gameplay/story: 9/10. If this game is on sale, I would recommend you wait until its full price because this game earned that $30 price tag. I hope more games come out with this Tim Burton / Henry Selick style from this studio.
