Haunting, mesmerizing!

Having beaten Device 6 (and loved it!), I immediately downloaded Year Walk. I was not disappointed. The story and mythology gripped me from the very beginning. I just finished playing it a second time, this time less worried about jump scares (there are a few) and more enthralled with the snowy atmosphere.

The designers do a great job of creating a cold, lonely wilderness. You genuinely do feel lost and confused at times. The puzzles are hard, but like Device 6, never to the point of me actually needing a walkthrough or online help. You can “figure them out” with a little creativity and patience.

All told, this is a beautiful story. Do not download if you want action/shoot em ups/flappy bird type games. Download if you love Myst, Device 6, or puzzle adventures that you plan to become immersed in.
