Some reviews on this page have complaints of it being too short but if you play the game ENTIRELY and correctly, it is very time consuming and enjoyable. The cost is definetly worth the experience. The overall art, setting, and quality of the game is excellent. Year Walk has a weird but positively unique set up which can be hard to control at first but it’s easy to get used to. The the best part of Year Walk is the plot. The game has tons of Back story to explain what is happening in the story without any dialogue. Playing the ENTIRE game has an amazing plot twist and I definitely recommend playing untill the FINAL credits roll. Just buy it. It’s worth it.

I am not usually one for horror themes, as I am quite skittish, but I couldn’t resist the tempation to play through this game. The side-scrolling took a minute to get used to, but the map proves very useful in helping gauge your surroundings. The music was delightfully creepy, and the simple storyline was compelling enough. I really enjoyed the encyclopedia’s historical facts. However! It was a very short game. I suppose it was cheap enough to where it isn’t upsetting, but still, quite short. That would have to be my only real complaint. Otherwise the game itself is beautifully done, and significantly creepy.

I seldom write reviews on paid games, mostly because they disappoint me, and I just want them to be better.But Year Walk is an incredibly intriguing game. It’s such a beautiful, dark entangle; its story is so mysterious and its graphics are exceptional. Any other environment would have made me extremely sick with the controls being what they are...but there’s a strange magic that happens with this game.I recommend it to anyone who’s a wee bit disturbed in the mind, this will be a dark & twisty treat.

A truly amazing game in all ways. The artwork, story, and music all came together to create a haunting atmosphere and magnificent experience. The game was clearly very well researched and could even be described as a virtual ethnography. The developers are not lying when they say it “blurs the line between reality and the supernatural.” Four peices of advice: read the entire encyclopedia before beginning, try not to rely too heavily on the hints, play with headphones in a dark room, and don’t be duped by the false ending.
