The Midnight Stroll finds you in a dismal world the place fireplace is your buddy (largely) however a dwelling lantern is an excellent higher buddy (at all times).
You might be The Burnt One, and you end up wandering by way of a world overtaken by darkness. On condition that it’s perpetually night time right here, fireplace is an especially beneficial gentle supply (and fortunately there’s some matches mendacity round that can assist you with that). Then once more, you would possibly probably not need to see the issues which can be skulking round this world extra clearly. There are some actually creepy claymation monstrosities which can be out to get you as you discover the sport’s 5 totally different tales, and they’re very happy to provide you an eyeful of their each unsettling element as they devour you complete.
Now, I’m particularly vulnerable to claymation creatures. A youth spent stumbling throughout claymation horrors like Massive Marge in Pee Wee’s Massive Journey has given me an incredible weak spot, and this recreation hits that tough with its inventive array of monsters and simply how briskly they will begin to chase you down (thank goodness for frequent hiding locations). Nonetheless, this recreation additionally tries to redeem the creepy claymation creature for me with Potboy, our scary, but endearing and cute companion for many of the journey. One thing about his uneasiness to go on this journey and the gradual belief you construct with him over the course of the sport left me caring an important deal about his security. Valuing him as a buddy in a daunting place that I’m glad I didn’t should stroll alone.
The Midnight Stroll is horrifying in its encounters with its many inventive monsters, but it surely additionally highlights how vital it’s to have somebody to face your fears with collectively, even in the event you had been initially frightened of that buddy to start with.
The Midnight Stroll is out there now on the PlayStation Retailer and Steam.
