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

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

I think if you're interested in folklore, puzzles, and a good short story, this game is great. I loved the encyclopedia with info on the supernatural beings, and enjoyed the journal entries you can unlock after the first playthrough, revealing much more of the story. However, the game isn't very replayable. There's two endings and several very easy achievements; you can get all that done in like 3-4 playthroughs and it takes 20 minutes tops to complete a playthrough. After that, there's nothing else you can get out of the game. My other complaint is the puzzles combined with how awkward the travelling/map is takes away from the suspense. The map is a bit weird to navigate and you need to take notes of all the runes in order to progress in a certain part. The spookiness and anticipation completely fizzled out for me as I wandered around feeling bored and confused trying to make sure I got every rune. Overall, I would recommend it if you're into visual novels and folklore. I don't recommend it if you expect a game with a lot of engagement and hours of gameplay.
