Dark fantasy claymation as a game

This game is a beautiful somber stop motion experience that you actually get to experience as a fully fleshed out game. If you try to find faults with this title, you will succeed, but I would argue that if you go in, trying to have a good time, you will. The graphics aren't perfect, but I was fully immersed in the story and environment with very few situations that broke my immersion. If you are a fan of movies like Coraline, Paranorman, Nightmare before Christmas, than this is the best opportunity that you have available to experience being in a similar world to that. The story is interesting, the odd characters are well crafted and well animated. Pot Boy is cute, and weird, and will successfully make you feel bonded to him, as he emotes and has a sense of presence that leads you deeper into the story. There are two endings ( I have only seen one of them so far) and there have been updates and patches since I played it, from start to finish, the day it came out. Nothing else really competes with this title, because it is a very unique experience, but I would suggest it for fans of Moss or Max Mustard, as well as any fans of Tim Burton movies or darker fantasy media.

Embark upon The Midnight Walk in this reverent dark fantasy adventure built in clay, from the minds behind Lost in Random, Fe and Ghost Giant.

Become The Burnt One, befriend a lost lantern creature named Potboy, and use his flame to light your way through a conflicting world of wonder and horror. Survive and outsmart the many monsters eager to devour your little friend’s flame as you experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters.

Marvel at every disturbing detail in a landscape painstakingly handcrafted with real life clay and animated in a stop motion style. Fully playable both on PS5 and in VR - with PS VR2.

AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY OF LIGHT AND DARK

Journey with Potboy along the twisted trail of The Midnight Walk. Work with your companion to outsmart fire-eating monsters, using his flame to distract while you hide from and evade the many threats of The Dark Itself. Encounter new friends and experience awe-inspiring sights as you navigate a path fraught with both peril and affirmation.

A GRIM AND BEAUTIFUL HANDCRAFTED WORLD

Everything you see in The Midnight Walk, from the drooling snarl of monsters to the bristling tree tops that line the journey was first sculpted in clay and then 3D scanned to a meticulous level of detail. The result is a uniquely layered fantasy world with an artistic imprint, all realized in breathtaking stop motion.
