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. During the game we take on the role of The Burnt One and in the company of the lamp creature known as Potboy we travel the road, learning five tales of fire and darkness . On the way, we must be aware of the dangers posed by the lurking Darkness.

Gameplay

In The Midnight Walk we view the action from the first (FPP) and third (TPP) person perspective. While exploring spooky locations, we must be on guard, as they are teeming with fire-breathing monsters that pose a deadly danger to both us and our companion. To survive, we must be cunning, including distracting enemies with Potboy's flame and sneaking behind their backs.

Graphics and other technical topics

Clay was used to create the graphic design of The Midnight Walk. All its elements were made from it - from enemies to all sorts of objects. Then they were scanned in three dimensions and set in motion using stop-motion animation.

Additionally, The Midnight Walk offers support for virtual reality sets, but does not require them to operate.
