About Year Walk
Journey into 19th century Swedish folklore as a year walker seeking visions of the future through cryptic puzzles and supernatural encounters in an eerie forest where reality and the supernatural blur together. This haunting first-person adventure stands out for its unique blend of 2D and 3D visuals, deep mythology exploration, and mind-bending puzzles rooted in real historical divination practices.
Experience the ancient Swedish phenomena of year walking through a different kind of first person adventure that blurs the line between two and three dimensions, as well as reality and the supernatural.
Venture out into the dark woods where strange creatures roam, on a vision quest set in 19th century Sweden. Solve and decipher cryptic puzzles, listen for clues, and learn about mysterious folklore creatures in the built-in encyclopedia as you seek to foresee your future and find out if your loved one will ever love you back.
Mysteries and clues await everywhere in Year Walk, but to fully understand the events that took place on that cold New Year's Eve, you will have to delve deeper than the adventure and lose yourself between fact and fiction.
This edition of Year Walk features several new additions:
• New locations within the game
• Map
• Updated art
• New puzzles
• Integrated Encyclopedia about the mysterious myths and creatures encountered in the game
• Hint system
• Steam Achievement Puzzles
... and more!

+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.
This game really frustrated me. They clearly care a lot about the source material but the actual gameplay felt very much like just scrolling around randomly until you notice something has changed. Solve a simple puzzle of some kind and then get jump-scared. I think part of the issue is that many of the interactions are really unintuitive and it's really easy to miss things. I had one case where, even after checking a walk-through, I still couldn't figure out what the interaction was supposed to be. I gave up because I was spending more time wondering why things had been implemented the way they had rather than playing the actual game. :/
It has some effective moments, but the gameplay is fairly tedious. There's a lot of wandering around.
An aesthetic, fairytale-like horror puzzle game. The only con is that the storytelling is a bit unkind. Beautiful work.
It's alright, kinda short but decent gaming experience, If you enjoy adventure-puzzle games, you might enjoy this one too. Also Swedish stuff and so on, nice...
I like the element of horror that is scary, but wont give me a heart attack :)
