I'm writing this twelve years after Year Walk's release on iOS. Having owned this for so long, I still didn't play it until 2025. It is wild how strongly Year Walk holds up. Its puzzles are milder than Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, but still inventive and challenging. Its grim children's book aesthetic looks great on a modern screen. Its story was ahead of its time. A short, spooky puzzle game with the promise of something more in replays. Totally recommended.

A true masterpiece. It achieves so much, with so little. Do it. Play it.
