The Midnight Walk is an adventure game with horror and stealth elements. The project stands out due to its graphic design, which was created using an unusual technique. The independent studio MoonHood is responsible for developing this title - they are a team founded by people whose portfolio includes the warmly received Lost in Random, Fe and Ghost Giant.

Plot

In The Midnight Walk we find ourselves in a gloomy, fantasy land, or more precisely – on the titular winding route.

On the way, we must be aware of the dangers posed by the lurking Darkness.

WellPlayed: 8 / 10 by Kieron Verbrugge

As a VR-optional walkabout adventure, The Midnight Walk is light on thrills or variety, but it makes up for that with some of the most arresting and artistically accomplished visuals inside a headset.

GamingTrend: 70 / 100

The Midnight Walk sits on the precipice of greatness but tragically falls short when it comes to gameplay and, too often, the presentation of its story. Despite its many problems, the game’s magnificent high points make this brief journey worthwhile.

Full Review

Niche Gamer: 8 / 10

The Midnight Walk is a beautiful work of art. I wish it were a full-blown movie instead of a game because the gameplay is as barebones as it gets for first-person adventure games. As a kid’s first horror game, The Midnight Walk is a superb entry-level option that teaches them to get to grips with first-person stealth and puzzles. At times, it’s even a little scary.
