The Midnight Walk" is a truly beautiful yet strange experience. While the game is on the shorter side, it's incredibly fun and engaging from start to finish. The voice acting is absolutely outstanding, really bringing the characters to life and keeping you hooked. I was particularly taken with the unique art style and the beautiful claymation visuals, which add so much character to the world. Combined with a sweet and simple story, it’s a wonderful adventure despite a few minor bugs.
I could hardly call this a game. You walk around, lighting candles and hiding from monsters. It's all really primitive and you've done it thousands of times. Your companion gets stuck on the environment WAY to much too. I understand WHY they charge so much, but even on sale for $17.99, you're not getting much here. I wouldn't say the story is nonsensical, but it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ random, that I have no clue what's going on. The art style and music is top notch though. The overall experience is just alright, but I wouldn't recommend this game to a friend.
Easily one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, visually, musically, creatively, all of it. Wonderful stories bound together by the idea of creative sparks, dark loneliness that can also be a safe haven of sorts. It's waiting on the other side of grief, down the midnight walk. Played on steam deck, encountered some bugs and graphical issues, reccomend playing on a higher end machine. A fantastic yet simple (and short) experience and I can't wait to play it again someday.
