Sept. 2025

I feel like I over use the word, "atmosphere," when I talk about games I like . . . but what do you want me to do, Year Walk has incredible atmosphere. Eerie and unsettling, but also somber. Almost feels sad somehow. And even after 6 hours and multiple playthroughs, I still haven't unraveled all of its mysteries.

A true masterpiece. It achieves so much, with so little. Do it. Play it.

Jan. 2025

I wanted to wait specifically until New Year's Eve to play Year Walk and welcome in the new year as it seemed the most thematic time to delve into this game steeped in Norse myths and traditions. Overall, the game felt similar to a Rusty Lake game thematically and with some of the puzzles. Here's to 2025! 4/10

Dec. 2024

Great story with some horrifying visuals. The music really helps set the scene

Oct. 2024

A short but sweet horror game, perfect for a comfy spooky playthrough done in one sitting
