The Midnight Walk: A Cozy Horror Game
Get ready for The Midnight Walk, a unique dark first-person adventure game coming to PS5 and PS VR2 on May 8th. This stop-motion-inspired title features a charming yet creepy world filled with deformed antiques and bizarre characters. You play as The Burnt One, awakening in a makeshift grave and embarking on a journey to the Moon Mountain.
A Unique Gameplay Experience
The game introduces an innovative mechanic: closing your eyes to enhance your hearing, allowing you to sense hidden sounds and sometimes even alter your surroundings. The DualSense controller adds to the immersion with haptic feedback, guiding you towards important objects. You’ll also meet Potboy, a fiery companion who can help you solve puzzles by accessing areas and manipulating the environment with his flame.
A Cast of Curious Characters
Along your journey, you’ll encounter other quirky characters, like Housy, a living house that serves as a safe haven. The puzzles are often creatively integrated into the environment, requiring you to use Potboy's abilities and items strategically. But beware, danger lurks around every corner, with creatures that feed on light and fire. You'll need to use your wits and your reflexes to survive the encounters.
Immersive VR Experience
While the flat-screen version offers a compelling experience, the PS VR2 version takes immersion to another level. Closing your eyes is more intuitive, and binaural sound enhances the atmosphere. The VR version also features "eye symbols" that allow environmental changes when you meditate on them, adding another layer of interaction and mystery to the game. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure filled with tension, suspense, and breathtaking visuals.
