Jan. 2025

I had dozens of pens in my room that I haven't used in years because it's 2025 and who tf needs to write anything anymore. Well, I look for a pen to use while playing, and none of them fucking worked. Not even unused pens fresh out the box. Why? Do pens fucking expire if not used? Do ball point pens have a "Best if used by" date or something? The answer is yes, apparently. W/e. Found a mechanical pencil that got me through the game. This game is one of a kind; well written, cool puzzles, impactful visuals and music, genuinely creepy.

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

June 2024

A puzzle game about the lost Swedish practice of year walking , which would have the adventurer go out into deep forest at night to catch a glimpse of the future. Great atmosphere (both the visuals and music), which could do well without jumpscares. Most puzzles are on the easier side, but some of them require you to fiddle with certain objects via your keyboard and mouse -- and it's not explained very well. After beating the game for the first time, try to access the Journal -- a cool in-game piece of "found media" that will tell you more about year walking and the game's plot.
