The Midnight Stroll finds you in a dark world the place fireplace is your good friend (principally) however a residing lantern is a fair larger 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 a particularly precious mild supply (and fortunately there’s some matches mendacity round that can assist you with that). Then once more, you would possibly not likely need to see the issues which might be skulking round this world extra clearly. There are some actually creepy claymation monstrosities which might be out to get you as you discover the sport’s 5 completely different tales, and they’re more than pleased to present you an eyeful of their each unsettling element as they devour you entire.


Now, I’m particularly prone 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 sport hits that onerous with its inventive array of monsters and simply how briskly they will begin to chase you down (thank goodness for frequent hiding locations). Nevertheless, this sport additionally tries to redeem the creepy claymation creature for me with Potboy, our scary, but endearing and cute companion for a lot of the journey. One thing about his uneasiness to go on this journey and the sluggish belief you construct with him over the course of the sport left me caring an important deal about his security. Valuing him as a good friend in a daunting place that I’m glad I didn’t need to stroll alone.
The Midnight Stroll is scary in its encounters with its many inventive monsters, but it surely additionally highlights how necessary it’s to have somebody to face your fears with collectively, even in the event you had been initially afraid of that buddy to start with.
