NOCLIP Pocket E04 - Don't Bring Michael Cera Into This - Year Walk

People tried to glimpse the future in the strangest ways. They
locked themselves in dark rooms, not partaking in podcasts. Thank
you for joining us as we begin our extra spooky Halloween month
this year! Today we’re going to be talking about Year Walk, a
Simogo developed horror-adventure game based on a Swedish folk
tradition in which people would perform a ritual in an effort to
see into the future. The way the act of Year Walking was adapted to
this game, originally released only for iOS, maintains the
inherently creepy nature of such practices, but also helps to
incorporate other elements of folklore that purely add to the
game’s iconography and atmosphere. However brief, Year Walk does a
fantastic job of accomplishing its goals in tone and story making
it an enjoyable, moody experience and one perfect to kickstart the
season. We’re going to discuss puzzles, folklore and an
anthropomorphic suit-wearing horse man. Thank you for joining us
today (a very important day as it’s our third year anniversary!)
and we’ll be back in two weeks with an episode on Night Trap. Stay
spooky, everybody!
