Year Walk

+graphics +atmosphere +music -bad gameplay (too much of a walking slideshow to see if something changed) -obtuse puzzles -terrible achievements I wish you could actually move around in 3D like a walking sim but can't fault an old mobile port though. If it wasn't for the post game content with the real ending I would've given this a thumbs down but it makes up for it. The journal pages should've been tightened and be a collectible in the main game.

Un breve y muy ambiental juego de puzles con tintes de terror. Su universo basado en el folklore nórdico es interesante y jugablemente es accesible, pero también desafiante.

Beautiful and creepy, but sparse and directionless. The encyclopedia and journal are enthralling, more so than the gameplay.

Year Walk is one of those rare games that feels less like a playthrough and more like a haunting. It’s a short experience on paper, but emotionally it lingers far longer — a winter ritual carved out of folklore, grief, and the strange logic of old stories. You wander through a snow‑drowned forest, guided only by the soft crunch of footsteps and the uncanny silhouettes of creatures pulled from Swedish myth. The game never rushes you. But it is a bit scary, particularly at a few key jumpscares. What surprised me most is how tragic the story becomes once you reach the end and unlock the researcher’s journal. Those entries reframe everything — the puzzles, the apparitions, the violence — and suddenly the game’s quiet strangeness becomes heartbreakingly human. It’s a story about obsession, loss, and the way folklore preserves the emotional truth of a tragedy long after the facts have faded. It took me almost three hours to finish, but that pacing felt right. Year Walk rewards lingering. It rewards letting the atmosphere breathe. And when the final pieces click into place, the emotional weight hits with the force of a folktale that’s been waiting centuries to be understood. It’s beautiful. It’s sorrowful. And it’s one of the most fascinating uses of folklore I’ve seen in a game — not as decoration, but as the very bones of the narrative.

Straszne i piękne.

I already played the game in 2014 on an Ipad. It was also released on Steam. A nice little mthyical and eerie experience into a norse ritual and legend. Eerie but not scary or gory. I can recommend it with best will. It will keep you entertained for around 4 hours. And i recommend having a piece of paper and a pencil ready because you want to write down patterns and other discoveries you will find on your walk.

美术很棒的游戏。在漆黑的白林中穿行，小心那些潜伏在黑暗中的家伙
