Jun 13, 2025The Sun has disappeared, waters dried out, and darkness slowly creeped upon the inhabitants of this hand-moulded land of clay. Heads have forsaken bodies, houses started walking and creators felt unfulfilled. Horrors of beyond, terror and somber spread. Bizarrely scary, yet wonderful world, that resonates with lovely tunes and immaculate voices. And now as a last hope, the Burnt One and his Potboy friend have embarked on their Midnight Walk to journey to the Moon Mountain, in hopes of spreading the fire where others before them have failed to do so.

May 8, 2025The Midnight Walk is a powerful statement representing the nearly-forgotten artform of claymation. It triumphantly provides a sensory experience that horrifies, chills, and warms your heart with all of its aspects in story, visuals, and sound. Though a bit basic with its gameplay, The Midnight Walk is a masterful work of art with an overflowing amount of love and care poured into the craft where even Henry Selick would be proud.

May 8, 2025The Midnight Walk offers a memorable adventure that's enchanting and bleak in equal measure, one that feels like wandering into a twisted fairytale. It's a gripping tale with beautifully crafted claymation visuals, held back only by some minor frustrations and not especially in-depth puzzles. MoonHood have delivered a great example of hybrid design between flatscreen games and VR, and it's a strong recommendation from me.

May 9, 2025Unfortunately, the experience of playing The Midnight Walk leaves a little to be desired. It draws you in with its fascinating early chapters, but it can't quite keep up the same level of puzzling intrigue throughout the rest of the game. And unless you're a seasoned VR pro, you're bound to experience a little discomfort while playing. Still, if you're at all curious about the dreamlike world it allows you to inhabit, The Midnight Walk is worth playing on the strength of its story, visuals, and music alone.

Jun 10, 2025The Midnight Walk is a visually striking adventure with a unique stop-motion aesthetic and excellent sound design, yet it struggles to fully deliver on its narrative ambitions. It brims with creative potential, but ultimately feels like a missed opportunity—whimsical, yet clumsily told and mechanically shallow. Its short length works in its favor, as a longer runtime would likely highlight its repetitiveness and tonal inconsistency. Still, for the right player at the right moment, it may offer a rare and emotionally resonant experience.
