Year Walk, which is currently available on iOS, Android, and Windows PC, is set to release on the Wii U later this summer. The GamePad rumbles and makes lovely sounds (make sure you have the volume all cranked up on it!), and it just feels amazingly tactile – like you’re actually holding the objects in your hands."įinally, the Wii U version will include support for additional languages and will feature extra, currently unannounced 'secrets'. For example, if you find something in the forest that you can spin or rotate, you’ll physically rotate the GamePad, with really finely tuned controls. Unlike the PC-version, which used cursor controls to interact with puzzles and contraptions, we now use custom motion controls for almost every puzzle. We’re very proud of this and we think we’ve made some really cool innovations with the motion-based cursor controls. You can rest the GamePad neatly in your lap. "It’s very reminiscent of using the Wii Remote to point at the TV, or mouse controls, but perhaps even more relaxed, as you don’t have to point it towards the TV.
The platform's motion controls will also be used 'to look around and find things to interact with': The Wii U version will utilise the GamePad touchscreen to access the in-game encyclopaedia, view the world map, take notes, and look at hints. Simogo didn't want to make a simple cash-grab port, however, and so worked with a developer it trusts to 'make it feel new, exciting and home on the platform' - Dakko Dakko. When the end of the game finally comes, it's hard not to feel the urge to hug a puppy and call a therapist.By Craig Snow, posted on 14 July 2015 / 2,800 ViewsĪcclaimed indie adventure title Year Walk is coming to the Wii U, developer Simogo has confirmed. And just when you think you've made it to the finale, there's still an ordeal to come. Stories of drowned children, murders, and even suicides leave you hoping to see a light at the end of the tunnel. And yet all this pales in comparison to the actual story itself, which only gets darker and darker as you go on.
The disturbing creatures you meet on your walk feel like something out of a fever dream. Every detail, from the gray color palette to the sounds of the fresh snow crunching beneath your feet (or the feet of something following you), is meant to evoke a sense of dread and gloom. It's the psychological aspect that makes it so unsettling. It's not blood or gore that makes this a horror story. Make no mistake about it, Year Walk is a dark and macabre game. Year Walk is an Action-Adventure, and Single-player video game published and created by Simogo for multiple platforms. This definite version of Year Walk was created in collaboration with our friends Dakko Dakko.
Unravel the mysteries which lie between fact, fiction, past and present in Year Walk for Wii U, when it launches via the Nintendo eShop September 17 2015. The question is whether or not this is really a world to let yourself get pulled into. Solve tactile puzzles using motion controls, and listen for clues through the GamePad. Using the Wii U gamepad to keep track of notes, learn interesting facts, and interact with the environment is a phenomenal way to pull the gamer into this world. It's a beautiful-looking game with a unique style, emphasized by a haunting score and eerie sounds. From a gameplay perspective, this is a superb presentation and an immersive experience great for telling an interactive story, surrounded by dark imagery.
