A different, short adventure game with some depth dug into an obscure, Swedish mythology. You set out on your first Year Walk, which the purpose is to gain a vision into the future. You interact mostly with mythological creatures and have to solve certain puzzles to reach your goal. Although you are provided with an encyclopedia to get an insight into Year Walk, as well as the creatures involved to help you along, the adventure is riddled with some harrowing experiences due to the unpredictable natures for the players getting into this for the first time.

Having played through this, I admit having this game haunting in my subconscious while I slept and although I'm no big fan of horror games, this game has a fascinating lore in its fragile state of existence, based on the research data compiled by a Swedish teacher (and his journal which becomes increasingly unsettling upon reading it). Recommended for thinking players but also for fans of mystery/mythology who might need a bit of walkthrough on this.
