Description

In the old days man tried to catch a glimpse of the future in the strangest of ways.

Experience the ancient Swedish phenomena of year walking through a different kind of first person adventure that blurs the line between two and three dimensions as well as reality and the supernatural.

Venture out into the dark woods where strange creatures roam, on a vision quest set in 19th century Sweden. Solve cryptic puzzles, touch and listen in your search to foresee the future and finally discover if your loved one will love you back.

Mysteries and clues await everywhere in Year Walk, but to fully understand the events that took place on that cold New Year's Eve, you will have to delve deeper than the adventure and lose yourself between fact and fiction.

For the complete Year Walk experience, or if you're curious about the folk lore on which Year Walk is based, we recommend downloading Year Walk Companion, available for free on the App Store.


"An iOS game like nothing else you’ve seen on the format to date.
This is a brave and truly original work"
Edge - 9/10

"Elegant and artful, Year Walk is an unmissable piece of work.
You can close the app and put down the phone, but the forest may spread beyond its glassy confines, its spindly, silver-skinned trees taking root in your own home, your own dreams."
Eurogamer - 9/10

"A game this distinctive, this different, this thrillingly new is the best possible demonstration of the format’s versatility; indeed, of the narrative power of the interactive medium. Simogo has made something very special here."
The Telegraph - 5/5

"It's a gripping, somber, atmospheric, and elegantly-designed game, and everyone should play it.
I've never played anything quite like it."
Touch Arcade 5/5

"An incredible showcase for the potential of tablet games and will undoubtedly become influential over the next few years."
CVG - 9/10

"Simogo has packed Year Walk with a hefty share of spine-tingling jump scares, but it’s these external trappings that cause the game’s lore to get under your skin and stick with you long after your phone or tablet has been turned off."
Gamezebo - 4,5/5

"Year Walk is smart, thrilling, and absolutely stunningly crafted. It'll throw you for a loop, leaving you transfixed to the screen until you shake out all of its dark secrets."
Mac|Life - 5/5

"As with any good page-turner, you won't want to put this game down until you get to the end. It's quite a journey, too. Year Walk is a beguiling adventure, and a truly memorable experience."
Pocketgamer - 8/10

I dare you to try…

1. I disagree with the previous review. This game is not short. There is more than meets the eye. I did not feel shortchanged.

2. The focus is on experiencing the year walk, not on solving disparate "I.Q. puzzles" that has no link to the story. Everything in the game is designed to evoke that experience, that sense of adventure. This is a lost art among game makers. There is no need to rely on walkthroughs, that'll degrade the experience.

3. Year Walk uses a refreshing multi-layered 2D landscape that feels surprisingly dynamic and 3D. The cinematics are seamlessly blended into the game. You really feel you are in the desolate snow-clad woods where creepy things jump at you when you least expect it. You're guaranteed to be spooked out several times, by design.

4. Getting lost in the woods is part of the gameplay. This brilliance Simogo's part creates feelings of fear and dread. You're on a journey to discover the future and you do not know what you'd find or expect.

5. No in-game tutorial is given because none is needed. Gameplay is intuitive and unique to mobile devices.

I recommend:
(A) Good speakers or headphones. The music adds tremendously to the game's atmosphere.
(B) Playing it after midnight, alone, if you dare.

Short but should be replayed

As I have said above, this game is on the short side of adventure games but begs to be replayed due to the dreadful ending. Anyway, thank you Simogo again for bringing us another great game with a new twist on the capabilities of the iOS platform. One thing though, can you release at least two games in a year? :D
